| Additional information |
Cuba issued a substantial run of silver commemoratives throughout the 1990s, many targeting the foreign collector market rather than domestic circulation — hard currency was effectively banned for ordinary Cubans under the dual-economy system that persisted until 2021. This piece belongs to that export-oriented program, produced for sale abroad at a time when the Cuban government was aggressively mining numismatic revenue to offset the economic collapse that followed Soviet subsidies ending in 1991.
