Cuba - 1943 - 1 Centavo - KM #9.02a - Mintage: 20,000,000
These One Centavo coins were minted in brass recovered from spend artillery shell casings by the US Mint in Philadelphia during World War II. Up until then, they were minted in copper -nickel. Despite the picture quality, this coin exhibits a sharp strike with exceptional luster.
