For the 2008 non-magnetic center , see https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces220030.html

Differences between the 2008 magnetic and 2008 non-magnetic in case you don't have a magnet. All differences are on the reverse. Different coloured arrows within a picture are always equal (copy & paste).

1. Different fonts for "PESOS". The magnetic coin has a bigger hole in the "P", longer legs for the "E", more curled "S's" and an oval "O".

2. The dots beside the lettering "REPUBLICA DOMINICANA" are closer to this lettering and the lettering itself is closer to the inner ring on the magnetic coin.

3. The date on the magnetic coin is wider and closer to the rim.
