Dominican Republic - Set of 4 Notes 10-100 Pesos Oro - P-165a-P-171a - 2000 dated Foreign Paper Money

P-165a, P-169a, P-170a, P-171a. CU. Beautiful Set of 4 notes.

The Dominican Republic’s 2000-year-old set of four notes (10–100 Pesos Oro) serves as a visual archive of the nation’s struggle for sovereignty. Issued by the Central Bank of the Dominican Republic, these notes depict foundational national heroes on the obverses, such as founding father Ramón Matías Mella, and feature delicate underprints of the native mahogany tree flower, symbolizing the rich natural landscapes of the Caribbean nation. Numismatically, this uncirculated banknote set reflects both historical preservation and modern anti-counterfeiting advancements at the turn of the millennium. The reverses showcase iconic architectural achievements like the historic Altar de la Patria mausoleum in Santo Domingo, anchoring the country’s physical heritage directly onto its cash. Collectors view the P-165a through P-171a series as a crucial transition era, preserving the classic “Pesos Oro” nomenclature before the Central Bank officially transitioned the text on its standard legal tender to “Pesos Dominicanos”.
