Cuba 1953 José Martí Centennial Silver Peso About Uncirculated

Product Description

This one-year only silver commemorative issue was struck by the United States Mint in Philadelphia to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of José Martí, Cuba's revered national hero. A poet, philosopher, essayist, journalist, translator, professor and publisher, Martí is beloved due to his role in the liberation of his country from Spain late in the 1890s. The 90% silver crown-sized coin is considered a key piece of mid-20th century Cuban coinage and delivers numismatic interest as well as silver value.
