This issue belongs to a series Cuba produced in the late 1980s and early 1990s targeting the international collector market — hard currency the Castro government desperately needed as Soviet subsidies began collapsing. The coins were never intended for domestic circulation and were sold almost exclusively through foreign dealers and at international trade fairs.
The 1990 date places it in the final year before the "Special Period," the severe economic contraction that followed the Soviet Union's dissolution and effectively ended Cuba's ability to fund prestige numismatic programs of this scale.
