Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Cuba. The coin was minted between 1815 and 1833, but it was also countermarked in 1841, indicating that it was still in circulation and being used as a form of currency even after Cuba had gained its independence from Spain in 1821. This suggests that the coin may have been used as a symbol of national identity and independence during a time of great upheaval and transition.
