This piece belongs to Cuba's "Exportaciones Cubanas" series, issued in the late 1980s and early 1990s as the country desperately needed hard currency. With the Soviet subsidy apparatus beginning to crack before its full collapse in 1991, Cuba turned to collector coins — many struck at foreign mints and sold abroad — as a dollar-earning mechanism. The irony of a socialist state monetizing numismatic exports to capitalist collectors was not lost on contemporary observers.
The JMA reference places this within the José Martí–era cataloguing framework used specifically for Cuban issues of this period.
