This 1915 Republic of Cuba one peso silver coin features the distinctive low relief design often referred to as the ABC Peso. The coin has been professionally authenticated and encapsulated by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), holding certification number 2901434-009, with a designation of XF Details-Cleaned.
The obverse of the coin depicts a prominent five-pointed star surrounded by radiant sunburst lines, accompanied by the inscription "Patria y Libertad," the date "1915," and technical specifications including the weight and metal purity. The reverse side features the Cuban coat of arms, encircled by the legend "Republica de Cuba" and the coin's denomination. The piece is housed within its original NGC plastic holder, which protects the coin while allowing for examination of both faces.
This silver issue serves as a significant example of early 20th-century Cuban numismatics, reflecting the aesthetic and political symbols of the era.
