Additional information

The Nao Victoria was the only vessel to complete Magellan's circumnavigation of 1519–1522, returning to Seville under Juan Sebastián Elcano with 18 survivors from an original crew of roughly 270. Cuba's hard-currency collector peso series of the 1990s — issued explicitly for the tourist and export market, not domestic circulation — drew heavily on Spanish maritime history, partly as a commercial calculation aimed at Spanish and European buyers. This coin never passed through a Cuban hand in ordinary trade.
