1950 Dominican Republic 1 Centavo Coin

This is a 1950 1 Centavo coin from the Dominican Republic, appearing to be composed of a copper-nickel or bronze alloy with a warm, aged patina. The obverse features the profile of 'Libertad' (Liberty) facing right, a common motif in Dominican coinage of the Trujillo era. Behind her head is a laurel branch, and to the right is the text 'LIBERTAD'. Below her neck is the date '1950'. The coin shows visible signs of circulation wear, particularly on the higher relief areas of Liberty's face and hair, which have softened over time. There are fine surface scratches and localized oxidation common for its age. The edges appear smooth or slightly worn, and the overall color shifting suggests it has been handled frequently. This coin represents the mid-20th-century numismatic history of the Dominican Republic, minted during the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo. Its condition would likely be graded as 'Fine' to 'Very Fine' by numismatic standards due to the visible wear on the silhouette and lettering.
