| Additional information |
Cuba's silver peso series ran from 1915 through 1934, issued under a monetary system established by the Platt Amendment's financial architecture — the same period during which the U.S. effectively controlled Cuban fiscal policy. The coins were struck at the Philadelphia Mint under contract, a common arrangement for Latin American republics that lacked their own minting infrastructure.
The 1920 date is notably scarce relative to others in the run, a consequence of postwar silver price volatility that disrupted planned mintages across several Caribbean and Central American issues simultaneously. The series ends in 1934 — the year the Platt Amendment was abrogated under Roosevelt's Good Neighbor Policy.
