| Additional information |
Cuba issued this coin as part of a broader FIFA World Cup Germany 2006 anticipatory series, using gold coinage partly as a hard-currency export product rather than domestic circulation — a pattern Havana's Casa de la Moneda pursued aggressively through the 1990s and 2000s to generate foreign exchange under the U.S. embargo. The coins were sold internationally through distributors in Europe and Canada, rarely if ever touching Cuban soil in any transactional sense.
Fr#101 places it within the Friedberg gold Cuba listings, a relatively thin section reflecting how recently the island resumed meaningful gold coinage after decades of purely base-metal issues.
