1986 Dominican Republic 25 Centavos KM# 61 Copper-Nickel Uncirculated Coin
This 1986 Dominican Republic 25 Centavos is a notable piece of Caribbean numismatic history, featuring a copper-nickel composition. The obverse displays the elegant profile of the Mirabal sisters (Hermanas Mirabal), Patria, Minerva, and María Teresa, who are national heroes celebrated as the "Cuna de los Derechos Humanos" (Cradle of Human Rights). The reverse prominently features the national coat of arms of the Dominican Republic, including the central shield flanked by laurel and palm branches with the year 1986 clearly struck at the bottom. This specific specimen appears to be in uncirculated condition, maintaining sharp details on the hair of the sisters and the intricate elements of the national shield. It is housed in a protective cardboard flip labeled with its KM catalog number 61 for easy identification and preservation.
