  • Issued by the United States Mint!

  • Contains .4838 Troy oz of actual gold content in BU condition.
  • Bears a face value of 10 Peso from the government of Cuba.

Each 1916 10 Peso Gold Cuba Coin available in this product listing comes to you in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. These gold coins are available to you in BU condition more than 100 years after the US Mint first struck and issued the coins. The coins have exceptional detail remaining and even some mint luster, though you may notice minor flaws like small contact marks or nicks within the field. Overall, the coins are in great condition for 100-year-old specimens. The coins are offered to you in a protective plastic flip.

The 1916 Gold Cuba Coins available here represent a unique period in Cuban history. Issued just over a decade after the independent Republic of Cuba formed, these gold coins were actually struck by the United States Mint on behalf of the country and designed by then-US Mint Chief Engraver, Charles E. Barber.

Obverse visuals on these 1916 10 Peso Gold Cuba Coins include a bust of Jose Marti. A dedicated Cuban patriot, Marti was a poet and philosopher who spoke passionately about the nationalist cause in Cuba during the final decade of Spanish colonial control. The portrait of Marti on this side is accompanied by inscriptions of the motto “Fatherland and Freedom” in Spanish, as well as the identifying hallmarks of the coin. Each coin has 90% gold content with 10% copper, as noted by the presence of the inscription 900 on this side.

Reverse designs on 1916 10 Peso Gold Cuba Coins include the national coat of arms for the Republic of Cuba. The seal includes a spade-shaped shield with three design fields within the shield and branches of oak and laurel framing the coat of arms.

Customer Reviews

"Amazing service and hospitality from the staff at IDC! Jason was so attentive and patient in our search for our ideal watches. He took us through several options, had us try every watch we were interested in, took our information and continued searching for options. A few hours later, we had our watches on hold and ready for pick up! He located a watch that I LOVE, and a unique piece for my husband. We are grateful to have found our new Jeweler for many pieces to come!"
