Obverse

The obverse carries the official coat of arms of Cuba. The shield is divided into three sections: a key between two shores, a sunlit landscape, and a royal palm. Framing the shield are branches of laurel and oak, symbols of victory and strength, topped with a Phrygian cap as a mark of liberty.

Reverse

The reverse side features Jose Marti in right-profile relief. Marti was a prominent writer and thinker who became a leading figure in Cubas independence efforts. His vision and leadership helped inspire generations and shape Cubas identity as a nation striving for freedom from outside influence.

History

These Cuban Gold Pesos were minted largely in 1915 and 1916, with use continuing for around 20 years. After the end of the Spanish-American War in 1898, Cuba became a republic in 1902 when the U.S. handed over control. Though independent in name, Cuba faced limitations due to the Platt Amendment, which gave the U.S. authority to intervene, affecting Cubas path toward full self-rule.
