Dominican Republic Coin - Circa 1930s (possibly 1934 or 1937)

The item appears to be a metal coin, likely made of a copper alloy given its reddish-brown hue and visible patina. It is circular in shape with a raised rim on the obverse side visible in the image. The diameter is consistent with a standard circulating coin, possibly around 20-25mm. The surface exhibits a noticeable amount of wear, particularly on the raised elements of the design, indicating circulation over time. There is a distinct patina, which suggests an older age and is a natural oxidation process for copper or bronze. The central motif is a detailed depiction of what appears to be a maple leaf or a similar trifoliate leaf design, possibly symbolizing a country or region. Below the leaf, there's a large, stylized 'K' and 'V' or 'IV' which could represent a denomination or a specific mint mark. Around the edge, partially legible text is visible, with "REPUBLICA" and "DOMINICANA" clearly discernible, along with a date that appears to be "1937" or "1934". The overall craftsmanship suggests it was produced in a professional minting facility. The condition suggests significant handling, with some loss of fine detail and likely a dulling of the original luster. No overt damage such as significant scratches or bends are visible, but the wear is consistent with a coin that has been in circulation for many decades. The edges appear reeded or milled, a common security feature on coins. The specific markings point to it being a circulating currency of the Dominican Republic, likely from the mid-20th century.
