Need Help Identifying a Coin I Own!

II got this coin and I have no clue what it is. Obverse shows a bust, and the reverse shows a wreath and a shield. The only text I can make out appears to be a date and it says "189?" on the obverse.
Any ideas?

How much does your coin weigh?
This is a very worn 1897 Dominican Republic coin.
If it is roughly the size of a US silver dollar then it is a Peso, if half dollar size, then 1/2 Peso, if dime size then 10 centavos. There is also a 20 centavos piece.

To add - These were minted for the DR by the United States at Philadelphia, although coins with details will show an 'A' mintmark as the dies were prepared in Paris, France.
sweet, that all helps a lot!
