Seize the opportunity to own a true numismatic rarity with this 1891 Dominican Republic 1 Franco coin. With a limited mintage of just 125,000 pieces, this coin is a coveted piece among collectors. Struck in the late 19th century during a brief attempt to align with the Latin Monetary Union, it embodies a unique historical moment for the Dominican Republic.

In 1891, there were 125,000 1-franco coins produced by the Dominican Republic as part of its attempt to join the Latin Monetary Union. These coins matched the specifications of the French 10 and 50 centimes and 1 and 5 francs, suggesting an intended link to the Latin Monetary Union. However, the plan did not materialize, and later the country reverted to denominating coins in pesos.
