Interesting fact
The 5 Pesos (XV World Soccer Cup USA '94) 1991 coin from Cuba is unique because it was minted to commemorate the 1994 FIFA World Cup, which was held in the United States, but it was issued by Cuba, a country that has not traditionally been involved in the FIFA World Cup. This coin is a rare example of a country issuing a commemorative coin for an international event that it did not participate in.
