Interesting fact
The 1988 Cuban 25 Centavos coin made of aluminum is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic hardship in Cuba, known as the "Special Period." This period was characterized by a severe economic crisis caused by the collapse of the Soviet Union, which had been Cuba's main trading partner. The Cuban government had to resort to issuing coins made of cheaper materials, such as aluminum, to save on production costs. Despite the economic challenges, the coin still features a beautiful design, including the iconic image of a sugarcane worker, symbolizing the country's rich agricultural history.
