Comment

Design of these coins was made at Cuba, and were minted at México, this is the reason they show the Cuban mintmark.
Max mintage authorized was 51 000, final mintage 25 000; 20 000 were part of sets, and the other 5 000 were sold separately. On Krause is shown mas mintage. Also at krause, mistakenly is listed as silver 0.999, insteado of 0.925 (on picture it clearly shows the fineness of coin).

El diseño de esta moneda fué realizado en Cuba, y fueron acuñadas en México, por esta razón llevan la marca de ceca de Cuba.
Acuñación autorizada 51 000, realizado 25 000; de ellas 20 000 fueron parte de los sets, y 5 000 vendidas separadas. En Krause se muestra la acuñación autorizada, no lo realmente acuñado. También, por error, está listada como plata 0.999, en lugar de 0.925 (se ve en la imágen la pureza en la moneda).
