Comment
Countermark on Mexican Peso, KM#388.Interesting fact
The 1 Peso (Countermarked) ND (1872-1877) coin from Cuba made of Silver (.903) is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic and political change in Cuba. The coin was introduced in 1872, just a few years after the abolition of slavery in Cuba in 1886, and it circulated during a period of rapid economic growth and industrialization on the island. The coin's silver content also reflects the importance of silver as a valuable resource in Cuba's economy at the time.
