Cuba, "souvenir" peso ("Bay of Pigs" exile issue), 1965, two-piece lead trial splashes, very rare. KM-TS1 and 2. 114.00 grams total. With all the features of the 1965 "Cubans in Exile" souvenir peso restrike but on two round slabs of lead (uniface obverse and reverse) extending about 3/8" past the designs, dark but not overly ashy (AU details), a near-unique set (not the same one pictured in KM's Unusual World Coins) that is a must for any collector of this interesting New York City private issue struck to raise money for Cuban freedom fighters after the 1961 "Bay of Pigs" invasion.
