This series is usually found extensively worn, suggesting that Gresham's law was in effect. Coinage for the Dominican Republic was sporadic during the nineteenth century, reflecting the political and fiscal chaos obtaining there. The dies bear the Paris mintmark (&quot;A&quot;) and French privy marks but the coins were actually struck at Philadelphia.<br /> <br /> ''Recorded mintage:'' 1,395,000.<br /> <br /> ''Specification:'' 5 g, .350 fine silver, .056 troy oz ASW, reeded edge.<br /> <br /> ''Catalog reference:'' KM 14.<br /> <br /> ''[[Bibliography|Source:]]''<br /> * Michael, Thomas, and Tracy L.
