Started a type set for INTUR coins from 1981-1989 Between 1981 and 1989, the National Institute of Tourism (Instituto Nacional de Turismo, "INTUR") issued "Visitors Coinage" for use by tourists. In 1981, cupro-nickel 5, 10, 25 and 50 centavos and 1 peso were introduced, followed in 1988 by aluminium 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 centavos.
INTUR coins were demonetized in October of 2001. They where a tourist coinage, they where for tourist use for Cuba.
Thanks for posting these! What I also find interesting is that, in those years, Cuba had two different coin sets for tourists - one for visitors from "socialist" countries (1, 5, 10, 25 centavos), one for visitors from "capitalist" countries (same denominations plus 50 c and 1 peso). You have pieces from both series. In the mid-1990s those were replaced by the CUC/Convertible Peso coins from 1 centavo (¢) to 5 pesos ($) ... Christian
I think these are the convertible pesos I have so far, there are a few older ones in the picture but just ignore those. a lot of these have heavy machine doubling or die deteration the 2002 peso has a 45 degree rotated reverse
