This type was struck for Cuba starting in 1969. This is the non-convertible type. The regime, wishing to obtain foreign exchange (i.e., dollars), encouraged tourism and remittances from Cuban expatriates by establishing a convertible peso pegged to the dollar. These are known by locals and tourists as "CUC's" (pronounced "KOOKS"). The national currency (the ordinary peso) was allowed to sink but could still be used in the government subsidized stores for the purchase of staples.
Recorded mintage: unknown but common.
Specification: 2 g, aluminum, 24 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM 35.1 and 35.2.
