Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Cuba. The coin was minted in 1841, just a few years after the abolition of slavery in Cuba in 1837, and during a period of significant economic and political transformation on the island. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, a testament to the enduring legacy of Cuban numismatics.
