| Additional information |
The "cabra montesa" — Spanish ibex, Capra pyrenaica — is native to the Iberian Peninsula, not Cuba, which raises the obvious question of why Havana issued it at all. Cuba's late-period CUC-era collector coinage frequently featured foreign fauna and global wildlife themes, targeting the international numismatic market rather than domestic circulation. These pieces were currency in name only.
