| Additional information |
Isla de la Juventud — formerly the Isle of Pines — holds a peculiar administrative status within Cuba as a "special municipality" outside the provincial structure, a designation formalized in 1978. Coins issued under its name are effectively local fantasy pieces rather than circulating currency; the X# prefix in Krause confirms this, placing it outside the main national coinage sequence. Whether these were produced for collector sales or ceremonial purposes, no meaningful circulation occurred.
