Simon Bolivar in La Moneda Cubana (1990 to 2002). Updated 01/10/2007 with new data.
"This Caribbean island has added its name to the list of countries with currencies Bolivarian in 1990, when three coins minted with the image of the Liberator, a nickel with a value of 1 Peso, one silver with a value of 10 pesos and gold a value of 50 pesos with diameters of 30, 37 and 25 mm respectively "
These coins are used a bust of the Liberator in military uniform. Later in 1993, three other coins minted with weight values \u200b\u200bof 1 copper, 10 silver pesos and 100 pesos in gold, all of 37 mm, this time using a beautiful diseño ecuestre del Libertador superpuesto al rostro de perfil de José Martí.
(tomado del cuaderno numismático Nro 3 Bolívar su efigie en las Monedas del Mundo).
Esta cita a Vladimir Gamboa la deseo complementar con el detalle que las monedas de Bolívar y Martí son unas de las monedas mas bellas de la Numismática Bolivariana, considerados por muchos como venezolanas o infaltables en la numismática venezolana (hubo contactos para que las acuñara el BCV y una solicitud rechazada para que se les incluyera el escudo venezolano). Fueron acuñadas por solicitud del Sr Marcos Urrutia y financiadas por él en la Casa de la Moneda de Cuba (he visto la factura original) and are known to date include:
