Comment
All years with mint official initials CN=C.T.de Roxas and N.LamasInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in Cuba, but it has a countermark from Spain, specifically the Seville 2 Reales KM# 430.2. This indicates that the coin was minted in Cuba but was also certified or stamped by the Spanish authorities, highlighting the colonial relationship between Cuba and Spain at the time.
