Comment
The Barcelona Olympic Stadium (formerly known as Olympic Stadium Lluís Companys) was inaugurated on May 20th., 1929; on 1985-1989, it was nearly completely rebuilt for the Olympics games 1992, and renamed on its current denomination. With capacity for nearly 56,000 spectators, has facilities for several different athletics sports, as well as football, being used for many important matches, and also on concerts and other meetings.Interesting fact
The 1991 Cuba Non-circulating coin 1 Peso (Barcelona Olympic Stadium) made of Nickel plated steel (NBS (Nickel Bonded Steel)) weighing 12.7 g is interesting because it was minted to commemorate the 1992 Summer Olympics held in Barcelona, Spain, but it features the Barcelona Olympic Stadium, which was not actually built until 1997, six years after the Olympics took place. This error on the coin's design makes it a unique and collectible item among numismatists.
