| Additional information |
Cuba's late-1980s silver collector series was produced almost entirely for hard currency export — the coins never circulated domestically, where the peso remained inconvertible and consumer goods were rationed. The Banco Nacional issued these pieces knowing the primary buyers would be European and Canadian dealers, not Cuban citizens, a quiet acknowledgment of the dollar gap the government refused to discuss publicly.
The three-year span across KM#171's variants reflects sequential mintings rather than a continuous run, each released to different distribution channels.
