Interesting fact
The 20 Pesos (José Martí) 1915-1916 coin from Cuba is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in the country's history. The coin was issued just a few years after Cuba gained independence from Spain in 1902, and it features a portrait of José Martí, a prominent Cuban revolutionary leader who played a key role in the country's fight for independence. The coin's gold composition and weight of 33.437 grams also make it a unique and valuable piece for collectors.
