Interesting fact
The 1995 Cuban 1 Peso coin features a unique design, with a sailboat on the obverse (front) side and a compass on the reverse (back) side. This design was created by the Italian artist, Ugo Marchetti, who was known for his maritime-themed artwork. The coin was issued to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, and the sailboat and compass symbols represent the explorer's journey and the spirit of adventure.
