Dominican Republic United Nations UN Old Building SP69 PCGS silver medal 1978

The 1978 Dominican Republic silver medal dedicated to the United Nations is a refined commemorative piece celebrating international cooperation and the country’s participation in the global organization. Issued with elegant proof-like surfaces, this medal highlights the Dominican Republic’s connection with the ideals of peace, diplomacy, and global unity promoted by the United Nations.

The obverse features a detailed architectural depiction of the historic cathedral building in Santo Domingo, one of the most recognizable colonial landmarks of the Dominican Republic. The structure is shown with its bell towers, arched facade, and surrounding stone walls, reflecting the country’s rich historical and cultural heritage. In the foreground appear elements of the colonial fortification walls and a cross monument, emphasizing the historic character of the site. The inscription “REPUBLICA DOMINICANA” arches above the scene, while the finely polished background enhances the sculptural relief of the architecture.

The reverse displays the emblem of the United Nations at the center — a world map surrounded by olive branches symbolizing peace and international cooperation. Around the emblem runs a circular inscription naming the United Nations in several languages, including English, French, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese, emphasizing the organization’s global mission. A decorative border frames the design, giving the medal a balanced and elegant appearance.

Struck in silver and certified PCGS SP69, this medal is an impressive collectible combining Dominican cultural heritage with the universal symbolism of the United Nations.
