| Additional information |
Part of Cuba's broader commemorative program of the late 1980s, this peso was issued during a period when the Cuban government was producing hard-currency collector coins at volume — largely to generate foreign exchange as Soviet subsidies began their final contraction. Domestic circulation was never the point.
