It appears to be a coin made by the company while they had a facility in Cuba back in the 1930's. The coin does not have a date on it. I am attaching pictures of the front/back. My dad (who is from Cuba) has had this coin for years and we are curious to know more about it. The coin has been in the box that it appears to have been distributed in and seems to be in perfect condition. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

I found your piece listed in Latin American Tokens, 2nd Edition by Russell Rulau. It is from the Oriente Province. It has a catalog number of Orl3. It is made of antiqued Cupronickel and predates Castro as you know. One sold for $38 in August of 1989 at the Grinolds sale.
