200 Pesos Dominicanos
Dominican Republic · Banco Central de la República Dominicana
The 200 Pesos Dominicanos banknote honors the Mirabal sisters: Patria, Minerva, and María Teresa Mirabal, who became national symbols of resistance against Dominican dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. These three sisters founded the resistance movement 'Las Mariposas' (The Butterflies) and were brutally murdered on November 25, 1960. Their deaths sparked widespread international condemnation and contributed to Trujillo's eventual downfall. The 2024 banknote celebrates their legacy with their portraits prominently displayed on the obverse. The note incorporates modern security features including watermarks, security threads, microprints, and holograms.
