Period
1937
This 1937 silver one peso coin from the Republic of Cuba is an authentic numismatic specimen encapsulated by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC). The coin features a portrait of Cuban national hero José Martí on its obverse, accompanied by the inscription 'Patria y Libertad' and the date 1937.
The reverse depicts the coat of arms of Cuba along with the coin's denomination. The piece is housed in a standard NGC holder, which bears certification number 6699775-006. The coin has been designated as having AU (About Uncirculated) details, though it shows evidence of a past cleaning. Encapsulation ensures the preservation of the coin in its current state, though it has not been examined outside of the protective slab.
This Cuban issue represents a significant period in the country's mid-20th-century coinage, capturing the aesthetic and patriotic imagery of the time. The holder itself shows minor signs of storage wear, while the coin remains secured within the protective plastic casing.
