The Banco Nacional de Cuba was established in 1901 under U.S. occupation, and this 1905 issue came during a period when the island's monetary system was still being rationalized following decades of Spanish colonial currency and the disruptions of two independence wars. The American Bank Note Company held the contract for the series, which was standard for the region at the time — ABNC dominated Latin American central bank printing through the early twentieth century.
Pick 67 is scarce in any grade. The 1905 date predates the second U.S. intervention of 1906, after which circulation patterns were severely disrupted.
