    That's a 1916 Cuba Diez Centavos. It's not extremely rare , but it's not common either.
    What a find. Lying there on your bedroom floor !! Where's your bedroom? Havana ?
    lol JK

    This coin is about a G6 or so. The main focal points on these are : Reverse....the valleys and ridges of the star. As you can see on yours, you can barely see any of either.
    The obverse...it's the items in the shield/coat of arms, especially the key in the top area and the palm tree on the right. And both are basically gone.
    Thus my grade, but.....
    These are silver and have a melt value and a collector value.

    Here's a link with more info :https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide...os-km-a12-1915-1949-cuid-1038129-duid-1278191

    The lowest value shown at this link is $10.00 for a VF 20 coin. Remember, yours is NOT a VF 20. The current melt value is $1.11 , but even in this condition it's worth more than that, say, $2.25 or thereabouts. I checked eBay's sold listings and coins like yours in better condition were starting at about $3.00.

    Remember, with coins, condition determines value more so than rarity.

    Thanks for posting, and please, keep finding lol

    I actually just picked up a 1916 diez pesos; same design on one side, at any rate. Needless to say, cost me a bit more than the one above :)

    Somewhere on here is my Cuban bank note collection pre and post revolution.
    Some notes have Che's signature . One member here who's family is Cuban gifted me a 100 peso note.... have to search and see if I can find the link.
