Additional information

Cuba's decision to honor Abraham Lincoln on a peso coin reflects the particular reverence Castro-era cultural policy extended toward figures coded as anti-imperialist or anti-slavery — Lincoln fitting neatly into that ideological framing despite his being the president of the very nation Cuba officially opposed. The issue is part of a broader commemorative program from this period that targeted collector export markets rather than domestic circulation, meaning most examples left the island shortly after striking.
