Comment
Cuban Rock Iguana was very abundant on the shores and cays of the island, where they swim and dive very well, but currently is in an endangered specie.(Image source: Cubatesoro.com)
Interesting fact
The Cuban Rock Iguana coin, minted in 1985, is a unique and fascinating piece of numismatic history. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare and endangered species, the Cuban Rock Iguana (Cyclura nubila), which is endemic to Cuba and found only in a few isolated areas of the island. The coin's design showcases the iguana's distinctive features, including its spiky scales and vibrant coloring, making it a standout piece in any coin collection. Additionally, the coin's silver composition and limited mintage of 5,000 pieces only add to its rarity and value.
