This coin has 2 different issues, one from copper-nickel, the other from nickel bonded steel, of course can be easily identified using a magnet. Also NBS version is proof, while copper-nickel is not.Interesting fact
The 1 Peso (Cuban Tobacco - NBS issue) 2005 coin from Cuba features an image of a tobacco leaf on one side and the Cuban coat of arms on the other. This coin is interesting because it was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Cuban tobacco industry, which has played a significant role in the country's economy and culture.
