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.
- Precious metal content: Silver (.925) — 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# 968. Use this reference code when cross-checking auction archives, dealer inventories, and standard printed catalogues.
