Dominican Republic 25C Mirabal Sisters Human Rights PR69 PCGS CuNi coin 1983

The 1983 Dominican Republic 25 Centavos coin dedicated to Human Rights and the Mirabal Sisters is a meaningful commemorative issue honoring three courageous women who became symbols of resistance and freedom. The Mirabal sisters — Patria, Minerva, and María Teresa — played a key role in the opposition to the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo. Their tragic assassination in 1960 shocked the nation and helped inspire the movement that ultimately led to the fall of the regime. Today, they are remembered worldwide as icons of human rights and bravery.

The obverse of the coin features three overlapping portraits of the Mirabal sisters facing right. Each profile is carefully sculpted to represent the sisters together, symbolizing unity, courage, and sacrifice. The surrounding legend refers to the struggle for human rights and identifies the Mirabal sisters. Small stars and a beaded border frame the composition, emphasizing the commemorative character of the design.

The reverse displays the national coat of arms of the Dominican Republic. At the center is a heraldic shield bearing a cross and an open Bible, surrounded by crossed national flags. A laurel branch and a palm branch flank the shield, while a ribbon above carries the national motto. The inscription naming the country surrounds the design, and the denomination “25 CENTAVOS” appears together with the date 1983 at the bottom.

Struck in copper-nickel with deep cameo proof surfaces and certified PCGS PR69 DCAM, this coin is a powerful tribute to courage, justice, and the universal fight for human rights.
