Cuba's turn to Chinese banknote printers beginning in the late 1980s was a direct consequence of the country's collapsing Soviet trade relationships and the hard-currency constraints that made contracting European security printers increasingly difficult. The China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation had been aggressively expanding its international client base through this period, often on favorable credit terms — an arrangement that suited Havana's circumstances precisely.
Pick 109 runs through several date variants into the early 1990s, sharing the same basic printed format across the run. Watermarking is the sole mechanical security feature, which reflects the economic ceiling on production specifications at the time of issue.
