Interesting fact

The 1994 Cuban 10 Pesos (Flamingos) coin is a unique and interesting piece due to its colorized reverse, which features a vibrant pink flamingo standing out against a blue background. This colorization was achieved through a special process that involves applying a thin layer of color to the coin's surface, creating a striking contrast with the silver background. This coin is a great example of the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into the production of non-circulating coins, and it would make a beautiful addition to any coin collection.
