| Additional information |
Cuba's sports commemorative program of the late 1970s and early 1980s was one of the more prolific in the socialist world, producing hard-currency collector pieces sold through the state export agency Cubamonedas rather than circulated domestically. This peso belongs to that series — issued a full year before the 1982 FIFA World Cup kicked off in Spain, timed for advance numismatic sales rather than any commemorative occasion.
Cuba did not qualify for España '82. The squad was eliminated in CONCACAF qualifying.
