The passing of Fidel Castro caused quite a wide variety of opinions as to his place in history. There were no monuments to him in Cuba but this 1 peso Specimen note dated in the 1960s and 1970s is perhaps the only one featuring Fidel. It depicts his triumphant entry into Havana on 8th January 1959 after the overthrow of the Batista regime. Fidel is shown alongside fellow revolutionary Camilo Cienfuegos and surrounded by a large crowd. Crisp Uncirculated.

1 Loti from Lesotho, a Briliant uncirculated coin issued by the Royal Mint to honour the 50th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations.

Between 1872 and 1969 Fiji used a pre-decimal pound similar to that used in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. However, there were some notable differences in the coinage used here, and one of them was the smaller copper-nickel penny with a hole. On the obverse there is a legend (Queen Elizabeth the Second) and crown around the hole, while the reverse shows the country’s name, denomination and date. We now have a number of these uniquely designed pennies dated 1966 in Brilliant Uncirculated condition to add to your collections.
