Cup Coins
Up to 1857, cash transactions were carried out in Cuba with the assistance of the Spanish relay. There was then a separate currency on the island for internal calculations. Until 1915, however, all Cuban money was paper money.
The first Cuban coins were found in Philadelphia's coin yard on the design-project of the main American gravier Edward Barber. The Monets decorated a star that marked the public ' s illustrious path to independence. The copper and nickel alloys, 10, 20 and 40 centavo cheques from silver, and nominal coins in 1, 2, 4, 5, 10 and 20 pesos from gold were made of coins. Of course. Cuba price very high, and they are very rare.
But modern Cuban coins are valuable to numism. Those who planned to buy Cuban coins would be interested to know that there were two types of currencies in that State:
- Cuban peso for domestic cash transactions. It's equivalent to 100 centavo.
- Convertible Cuban peso, which is offered to tourists visiting the country. It notes the special inscription of convertible.
Cuban rare coins
Of course, any numist dreams of adding a catalogue containing Cuba ' s coins to rare and unusual copies - they are a real find for the collector.
For example, the peso released in 1953 on the occasion of the centenary of José Martí, a Cuban poet, a writer and a political figure, is extremely interesting. The menu was produced by a small printout, which makes it cost today.
In 1997, a special series of memorials in 1 pesos on the Caribbean flora was produced. Another B " One-Peace Month " , in 2001, showed the plants of the Cuban flora this time.
