| Additional information |
Cuba's state minting enterprise, the Empresa Cubana de Acuñaciones, produced a sustained run of wildlife-themed silver issues through the 1990s targeting the collector and bullion export market — hard currency the embargo-strangled economy badly needed. The Yellow Perch is an odd choice for a Cuban coin; the species is native to North America east of the Rockies and has no particular ecological connection to the island.
Low secondary-market liquidity suggests these were largely absorbed by thematic fish and wildlife collectors rather than Cuban numismatists.
