10 Pesos Burro de Gerona

The Burro de Gerona is a feral donkey population descended from animals abandoned in the Isla de la Juventud — formerly Isla de Pinos — when the region's agricultural operations collapsed during the early revolutionary period. Isolated from the mainland, the herd developed into a distinct feral population and became a protected symbol of the island's identity. Cuba's commemorative silver program of the 2000s drew heavily on endemic and regionally specific fauna that standard wildlife series routinely ignore.
