Aureo sale 269, lot 651

This specimen was lot 651 in Aureo sale 269 (Barcelona, July 2015), where it sold for €1,500 (about US$1,938 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"* 1990. Cuba. 100 pesos. AU. V Centenario - Isabel la Católica. Con certificado. Acuñación de 250 piezas. Proof. (Cuba, gold one hundred pesos of 1990, for the fifth centennial of Isabel the Catholic, 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 fifty pesos (Fr-50).

Recorded mintage: 250, all proof.

Specification: 31.10 g, .999 fine gold, this specimen 31,10 g.

Catalog reference: Fr-49, KM 304.
