habanos Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I have two coins unlisted in Krause. The essai coin I know is rare, the gold one, I know nothing about. Maybe is a fake coin/token Do anybody knows something about these coins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trantor_3 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 The second coin/token depicts José Marti, who was born in 1853. He is depicted on several Cuban coins, mostly in the 1950's and 1960's. But all those coins have a different reverse, see KM# 26, KM# 27, KM# 28, KM# 30, KM# 31. There is one coin that looks a lot like it, KM# 29, 1 Peso, 1953, but that is silver, not gold. Perhaps yours is guilded by someone?

ccg Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 The details on your 1p are very "soft" - what size it is? It seems like it might be one of those 9k/10k miniatures that are sometimes seen of various types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
