Interesting fact
The 1915-1916 José Martí 1 Peso coin from Cuba is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in the country's history. The coin was issued just a few years after Cuba gained independence from Spain in 1902, and it features a portrait of José Martí, a prominent Cuban national hero who played a key role in the country's struggle for independence. The coin's design and composition, including the use of gold and copper, also reflect the country's rich cultural and natural resources.
