This Dominican Republic 1 centavo stamp was issued during the Era of Trujillo, a period marked by the long dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo (1930–1961). Printed in blue, the design features Christ with children, reflecting the biblical phrase “Dejad que los niños vengan a mí” (“Let the children come to me”). At the bottom, the inscription “Protección a la Infancia” emphasizes child welfare, a common propaganda theme used to portray the regime as protective of the nation’s youth. This issue is part of a series of low-denomination stamps circulated widely for everyday postal use, making it a fascinating piece of both religious iconography and political history. Collectors value it for its dual symbolism—faith and state authority.
