Final year of issue, with iridescent toning and some contact marks, yet still highly desirable as a historic emblem of the Cuban struggle for independence. During the final years of the Cuban War of Independence, the “Souvenir Pesos” were not minted for circulation, but as commemorative pieces of the ongoing conflict against Spanish rule. Their issuance also served as a form of financial support for the cause, as they were sold to raise funds for the Cuban insurgent forces. Almost MS. Est...4000,00.
