Collector insights
- Series context: Part of the Non-circulating coins series — collectors typically assemble full-year date runs, so single years within an established series carry demand beyond raw mintage.
- Struck at: Empresa Cubana de Acuñaciones, Havana, Cuba. Confirm the mintmark on your example before comparing prices — same-year issues from different mints often trade at very different levels.
- Low mintage: Only 12,000 pieces reported. This puts the issue into key-date territory for its series; expect steep grade-based price scaling and a higher counterfeit risk — provenance and third-party grading matter.
- Precious metal content: Silver — bullion value provides a price floor, and many circulated examples were melted during the 1979–1980 and post-2010 silver spikes, reducing the surviving population.
- Catalogue reference: Listed as
KM# 166, CJ# 10.7, Schön# 179. Use this reference code when cross-checking auction archives, dealer inventories, and standard printed catalogues.
