Another addition to my "Beautiful Design" set came in the mail today and my lord, she is a beaut! She's currently residing in a PCGS MS62 tomb. With the soft pastel colors I'd have to say this is one of the very top "PQ" ABC Peso's I've ever seen. Thanks again Frank

I'm eagerly watching for the mailman
To answer your question M'Lord here is a quote from the Cuban Numismatic Association website (pretty interesting story);
"Dictator General Gerardo Machado y Morales, was opposed by a rightist political group named the ABC, a secret society consisting of three (ABC) unidentified cells. In 1934, after the overthrow of Machado, the ABC peso was minted, with the “Lady of Liberty” gracing the obverse. The ABC peso was minted until 1939. Some researchers conclude that the ABC peso was never officially released into circulation, however many of the ABC pesos demonstrate wear, which implies that they were placed into circulation."
