Interesting fact
The 1981 Cuba 1 Peso (World Championship Spain '82) coin is interesting because it was issued to commemorate the 1982 FIFA World Cup, which was held in Spain. The coin features a soccer player in action on the obverse, and the reverse depicts the Cuban coat of arms. This coin is unique because it was produced in a non-circulating format, meaning it was not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item. Additionally, it's made of copper-nickel, which is a common alloy used in coinage, but the weight of 11.3 grams is slightly heavier than most coins of similar size.
