Dominican Republic 10 pesos Pueblo Viejo Mine Taino Art PR67 PCGS Ag coin 1975

The 1975 Dominican Republic 10 Pesos silver coin is a remarkable numismatic tribute to the cultural heritage of the island and the historic Pueblo Viejo mining region. Issued as part of a commemorative program celebrating national identity and indigenous artistic traditions, this coin highlights the legacy of the Taíno people, the original inhabitants of Hispaniola. Struck in silver and preserved in certified Proof condition, it combines historical symbolism with refined craftsmanship.

The obverse features a stylized Taíno ceremonial figure standing upright with large circular eyes, prominent ears, and carved geometric body details typical of pre-Columbian sculpture. Above the figure appears a disk-like ceremonial halo element, while the denomination “10 PESOS” is placed to the sides. The inscription “ARTE TAINO” curves above, and the date 1975 appears below, surrounded by a dotted border that frames the design with elegant precision.

The reverse displays the national coat of arms of the Dominican Republic: a shield with a central cross, a Bible, and crossed flags, framed by a laurel branch and a palm branch. Above the shield flows a ribbon with the national motto, while a banner below bears the country’s name. Around the rim runs the inscription referencing the Pueblo Viejo mining exploitation, commemorating the historic mining site that played an important role in the nation’s economic development.

Struck in silver with deep cameo proof contrast and certified PCGS PR67 DCAM, this coin represents both Dominican history and Taíno artistic heritage. A beautiful and meaningful collectible for enthusiasts of Caribbean culture, indigenous art, and world silver commemoratives.
