| Additional information |
Cuba's hard-currency collector coinage of the 1990s was produced almost entirely for export, generating foreign exchange during the Special Period — the severe economic contraction that followed the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991 and the end of Soviet subsidies that had propped up the Cuban economy for three decades. These pieces never circulated domestically in any practical sense; the peso convertible system kept them firmly in the hands of foreign collectors and tourists.
KM#528 is part of a broader wildlife series issued through that period, with mintages kept deliberately low to sustain collector premiums.
