De La Rue relocated its primary banknote manufacturing operation to Gateshead from Basingstoke in the early 2000s, and this note is a product of that facility during a period when the Dominican central bank was steadily upgrading its security specifications across the entire peso dominicano series. The 500-peso denomination sits at the upper end of everyday circulation use in the Dominican Republic, making it a practical target for counterfeiting — the see-through register and embedded security thread address that directly.
Pick 195 is one of several parallel issues from this period distinguished primarily by date, with relatively minor specification changes between runs.
