Cuba's relationship with Czechoslovak printers began in earnest after the Revolution, when the island's break with Western institutions forced new arrangements for currency production. Státní Tiskárna Cenin in Prague became the primary supplier of Cuban banknotes from the early 1960s onward — a partnership that lasted decades and shaped the visual character of the entire revolutionary-era series.
The P#104 issue spans an unusually long print run, from 1967 to 1989, with multiple date varieties known within the series. Collectors should verify the specific date when assessing scarcity, as earlier dates are considerably harder to find than the later printings.
