commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12252 Posts	Posted 03/01/2022 09:22 am I looked at quite a few Cuba Gold 20 Pesos before I picked this one up a few years back. I examined many Mint State coins and found they had extensive and distracting bag marks - not very attractive to my eye. When I came across this much cleaner AU-58, I knew it was a keeper! The Cuba Gold 20 Pesos coins were struck at the Philadelphia Mint on the same gold planchets that were used for the US Gold Double Eagle coins. They are the work of Charles Barber, US Mint Chief Engraver at the time. 1915 Cuba Gold 20 Pesos Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Yes, the Cuban Peso circulated at par with the US Dollar until 1959; its coins were struck at the US Mint during this period. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.
