Dominican Rep. 10 pesos Iglesia Barbara KM-97 Church MS 63 PCGS silver coin 2000

The Dominican Republic 10 Pesos silver coin issued in 2000 celebrates one of the country’s important architectural and historical landmarks – the Iglesia Santa Bárbara. This commemorative piece highlights the rich colonial heritage of Santo Domingo, the oldest continuously inhabited European-established city in the Americas and a center of early Spanish colonial history in the Caribbean.

The reverse of the coin presents a detailed architectural depiction of the Iglesia Santa Bárbara church. The structure is shown with its distinctive façade featuring a tall bell tower, arched entrance, central portal, and adjoining sections of the historic building complex. The design carefully reproduces the colonial architectural elements including windows, rooflines, and decorative structures. Surrounding the image is the inscription identifying the monument as one of the historic colonial churches.

The obverse displays the national coat of arms of the Dominican Republic at the center, featuring a shield with a cross and Bible, framed by laurel and palm branches. Above the shield appears a ribbon bearing the national motto, while the country name encircles the design. The year 2000 and the denomination “Diez Pesos” appear below.

Struck in .900 silver with a prooflike finish and certified by PCGS as MS63, this coin combines architectural heritage, national symbolism, and historical significance. It is an appealing collectible for enthusiasts of world coins, colonial architecture, and Caribbean history.
