This forum's been pretty dead lately. Let's spice it up with some pictures:

Beautiful little coin. Guessing, Austria?
Looks just like the double headed eagle on the back of the M.T. thaler, hence my guess of Oesterreich.

Heck, I can read that bad boy...another really nice one. I guess the eagle is about the only animal we've used on our coins over the years (to any real extent, anyway). Something about animals and coins - really cool stuff.

Netherlands Antilles... Curacao... (also Aruba and Bonaire, the "ABC" islands just off the coast of Venezuela). I'd like to go there one day (not on a cruise though).
One of my favorite non-British countries is the Netherlands and their colonies.

Methinks you have a fantasy piece.
The motto "PATRIA O MUERTE", meaning approximately FATHERLAND OR DEATH, does not appear on any 1986 peso in my 2004 Krause, nor does it appear on ANY Cuban coin that I can find.
It is patterned after the 1915 un peso in that it says UN PESO and looks very similar to that coin. All modern pesos say "1 PESO".
What's it weigh and what's the diameter?

The brass Peso is KM-105, issued since 1983 for circulation and is buried amidst the comemmorative pesos in Krause.

My Krause (1992) shows only 1883, 84 and 87 for KM 105 (Patira o Muerte, 1 peso).
Brass, 10 million made (for circulation). Diameter close to a US quarter.

Just saw that Cuba issued at least 3 coins in 1982 honoring Ernest Hemingway.
KM 88, 89, 90.
his portrait
"Pesca de la Acuja" (?)
"El Viejo y el Mar... Premio Nobel"

Ah so desuka... thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I didn't know that Cuba had a recent regular circulating peso...
Hemingway spent a good number of years living in Cuba.
