| Additional information |
Cuba's wildlife coin program of the 2000s was driven less by conservation messaging than by the hard currency market — foreign collectors, not Cuban citizens, were the intended audience. These pieces circulated in exactly zero Cuban pockets. The pygoplites diacanthus, the regal angelfish, is not native to Cuban or Caribbean waters; it inhabits the Indo-Pacific, which makes its appearance on a Cuban coin a curatorial choice driven entirely by collector appeal rather than national fauna.
