Interesting fact

The 1977 Cuban 20 Pesos coin featuring Lenin is interesting because it was minted during a time when Cuba was heavily influenced by Soviet ideology, and the coin's design reflects this connection. The coin's obverse features a portrait of Lenin, while the reverse bears an image of the Cuban coat of arms, which includes a depiction of a sugarcane, a symbol of the island's rich agricultural history. The coin's silver content and relatively low mintage also make it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
