Key Facts & Value
Key Fact
Description
This is a 1998 Dominican Republic 1 Peso commemorative coin honoring the Mirabal Sisters. The obverse features three female profiles facing left, symbolizing the sisters, with the inscription "CUNA DE LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS" (Cradle of Human Rights) and "HERMANAS MIRABAL". The coin is made of copper-nickel with a reeded edge, measuring 27.5 mm in diameter and weighing 10.0 grams. It was part of a mintage of 5,000,000.
History
The Mirabal Sisters, Patria, Minerva, and María Teresa, were political activists in the Dominican Republic who were assassinated in 1960 for their opposition to the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo. Their bravery and sacrifice became a symbol of resistance and inspired the global movement for women's rights and human rights.
Facts
The coin's design explicitly commemorates the sisters' legacy as a "Cradle of Human Rights." Their story is widely recognized, and November 25th is observed internationally as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women in their honor. This coin serves as a tangible reminder of their enduring impact.
Value Fact
Commemorative coins like this often hold value beyond their face value, particularly those with a significant historical theme. While the mintage of 5 million is not extremely low, collector demand for coins related to human rights figures can be steady. Pricing would depend on condition, with uncirculated examples commanding higher prices in the range of $5 to $15.
