Cuba 1991 50 pesos Fr-66
This specimen was lot 639 in Aureo sale 269 (Barcelona, July 2015), where it sold for €900 (about US$1,163 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"* 1991. Cuba. 50 pesos. AU. V Centenario - Hermanos Pinzón. Con certificado. Acuñación de 200 ejemplares. Proof. (Cuba, gold fifty pesos of 1991, for the fifth centennial of the Pinzon brothers; mintage of 200 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-65).
Recorded mintage: 200, all proof.
Specification: 15.55 g, 0.999 fine gold, this specimen 15,56 g.
Catalog reference: Fr-66, KM 446.
