Comment
This coin shares the design of the 1953 issue, but without the 100th anniversary legend.Interesting fact
The 1 Centavo coin from Cuba featuring José Martí, made of Copper-nickel (Copper 75%, Nickel 25%) and weighing 2.5 grams, is interesting because it was minted during a time of significant political change in Cuba. The coin was produced in 1958, just a year before the Cuban Revolution led by Fidel Castro, which overthrew the authoritarian government of Fulgencio Batista. This coin is a reminder of the tumultuous period in Cuban history and the efforts of José Martí, a national hero who fought for Cuban independence from Spain.
