Interesting fact
The 1 Peso (Abraham Lincoln) 2009 coin from Cuba is interesting because it features a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, on the obverse (front side), despite Lincoln having no direct connection to Cuba. This unusual design choice was likely made to commemorate Lincoln's legacy as a champion of freedom and democracy, which aligns with Cuba's own struggles for independence and socialism.
