Following its formal independence in 1902, the Republic of Cuba enjoyed a period of economic prosperity that was powered in large part by American investment. The island had been wrested from centuries of Spanish colonial control following America’s victory in the Spanish-American war in 1898, and gained its formal independence in 1902. One thing Cuba relied on during this period was the coining capacity of the United States Mint. Today, 1916 5 Peso Cuba Gold Coins are available to you online at JM Bullion with PCGS certification.

5 Peso Cuba Gold Coins were only issued for two years during the World War I era. The United States Mint was responsible for the production of gold coins for the Republic of Cuba in this era, with the 6^th Chief Engraver of the US Mint, Charles E. Barber, responsible for the design of the 10 Peso and 5 Peso Cuba Gold Coins.

On the obverse of 1916 5 Peso Cuba Gold Coins is a portrait of Jose Marti. A leading voice against the continued Spanish colonization of the island during the late 19^th century, Marti was an influential revolutionary philosopher and political theorist, not just on the island of Cuba, but as a voice for various peoples throughout Latin America in the late-19^th and early-20^th centuries.

The reverse side of 5 Peso Cuba Gold Coins comes with the national coat of arms for the Republic of Cuba. The design features a spade-shaped shield flanked by a wreath of oak and laurel. Above the shield is a Phrygian cap.
