Additional information

Issued under the UN-affiliated "Health for All by the Year 2000" initiative promoted by the WHO, this coin was part of Cuba's aggressive hard-currency collector program throughout the 1980s — a deliberate strategy to earn foreign exchange while the domestic economy ran on the peso at fixed state prices. Havana produced dozens of thematic silver issues during this decade, many in low mintages destined almost entirely for European and Latin American numismatic markets rather than any form of circulation.
