This specimen was lot 633 in Aureo sale 269 (Barcelona, July 2015), where it sold for €1,000 (about US$1,292 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"* 1990. Cuba. 50 pesos. AU. V Centenario - Juan de la Cosa. Con certificado. Acuñación de 250 piezas. Proof. (Cuba, fifty pesos of 1990, gold, for the fifth centennial of Juan de la Cosa, with certificate, mintage of 250 pieces, proof.)"
This type is listed in the SCWC but without a photo. Desperate for foreign exchange, Cuba has issued large numbers of NCLT's, many only vaguely related to Cuba. This type was accompanied by a gold hundred pesos (Fr-51).
Recorded mintage: 250, all proof.
Specification: 15.55 g, 0.999 fine gold, this specimen 15,55 g.
