| Additional information |
Issued as part of Cuba's extensive "Visita del Papa" and foreign visitor commemorative programs of the late 1980s and early 1990s, this piece belongs to a sprawling series targeting the international numismatic market rather than domestic circulation — hard currency was the goal, not coin use. The Cuban state mint produced dozens of thematic types during this period explicitly to generate foreign exchange revenue under the U.S. embargo.
