Cuba 1991 30 pesos KM-423
This specimen was lot 1721 in Jean Elsen sale 152 (Brussels, September 2022), where it sold for €110 (about US$133 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"CUBA, République (1902-), AR 30 pesos (3 oz), 1991. Tribu des Hatuey. 1000 p. frappées. Flan poli. (republic of Cuba, silver thirty pesos (three troy oz) of 1991, chief Hatuey. One thousand pieces struck. Proof.)"
After the release of many self-congratulatory NCLT's was greeted by disinterest from the world at large, the regime switched to less political topics such as sports and history. This was part of an extensive series celebrating Colombus's discovery of the New World. Hatuey was a Taino cacique who died in 1512, resisting the Spanish.
Recorded mintage: 1,000 proofs.
Specification: 93.31 g, 0.999 fine silver, 3.00 troy oz ASW.
