| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse displays the Dominican Republic coat of arms at center, featuring an open Bible beneath a cross, flanked by trophies of arms including cannons, rifles, and flags, all resting on a cannon-ball base. The central device is framed by a wreath composed of laurel and oak branches. The legend REPUBLICA DOMINICANA arcs along the upper periphery, while the date 1855 appears in the lower exergue. The overall design is rendered in a clean neoclassical engraving style befitting a mid-nineteenth-century pattern issue. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents the denomination DIEZ REALES in two bold lines at the center of the field, enclosed within a wreath of laurel branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. A five-pointed star appears both above and below the central legend within the wreath. The motto DIOS PATRIA LIBERTAD arcs along the upper periphery, interspersed with small five-pointed stars, while the fineness statement LEI 0,900 is inscribed along the lower border. The composition of the legend and fineness marking confirms the pattern's intended silver standard of 900 thousandths. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Dominican Republic declared independence from Haiti in 1844, but by 1855 the new state had not yet established a functioning mint. This pattern was almost certainly produced abroad — most likely in Europe — as a proposal for a native coinage that never advanced to circulation. The 10 reales denomination itself is an oddity: Spain's metropolitan reales system was already being dismantled in these years, making the choice either a conservative nod to regional commercial familiarity or simply a denominating decision that arrived too late to be relevant.
