Comment
This coin is listed on Krause, but not on other specialized Cuban catalogs. On Krause is stated "Note: Existence in doubt."It is possible this coin doesn't exist, and the mistake comes from most silver 0.999 30mm diameter from Cuba weighs 12g., but in this case was minted on a thin planchet, 6g. of weight, listed as KM# 216, and also listed on the other Cuban catalogs checked.
Before registering this coin, please be sure to check the weight, and in the event of being 12g., please let the referee know the fact to correct the page.
Interesting fact
The 1988 Cuban 5 Pesos silver coin featuring two footballers is a unique and interesting collector's item. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 1988 FIFA World Cup, which was held in West Germany. The coin's design features two football players in action, with the Cuban flag in the background. This coin is a great example of how numismatics can be used to celebrate significant events and cultural exchange.
