History

The 2 Peso Cuban Gold Coins were mainly produced in 1915 and 1916, with circulation continuing into the 1930s. The Republic of Cuba was formed after the 1898 end of the Spanish-American War, with the United States transferring control to the Cuban government on May 20, 1902. This period, which lasted until 1952, was shaped by Cubas efforts to strengthen its independence, even as the Platt Amendment gave the U.S. a significant role in its affairs.
