CUBA. 20 Pesos, 1915. Philadelphia Mint. PCGS MS-63.
Fr-1; KM-21. Impressive mint luster blankets both sides with a nicely frosted texture, while virtually all design elements are enhanced by a sharp strike. The rose-orange surfaces are original and appealing on this conditionally exceptional piece from a popular two year type. Struck with the same weight and purity as American Double Eagles, these coins are feverishly collected by Cuban specialists who enjoy their rich historical context.

Though the U.S. never formally colonized Cuba, American troops occupied the country three distinct times during early 20th century. These occupations quelled unrest, protected business interests, and attempted to reintroduce stable self-governance.
