Aanvullende informatie

Cuba's piedfort sports series from this period was produced almost exclusively for the collector export market, generating hard currency at a time when the U.S. embargo and the imminent collapse of Soviet subsidies were squeezing the island's foreign exchange reserves to a breaking point. The Empresa Cubana de Acuñaciones issued these pieces knowing they would never see domestic circulation — they were convertible-peso diplomacy in coin form.

A piedfort strikes the same dies twice the standard planchet thickness, a French technique dating to medieval assay practice.
