About this banknote
The "Banco de la Compañía de Crédito de Puerto Plata" issued the 50 centavos banknote in 1889. This issuance reflected the economic activities facilitated by private banks in Dominican Republic at the time, before the centralization of banknotes under a national monetary authority.
The front side features an allegorical figure seated with a shield, alongside the denomination prominently displayed as "50". The back includes the national coat of arms and inscriptions guaranteeing its value in legal tender. This note was printed by the American Bank Note Company, known for its high-quality engravings.
