Banco Nacional de Cuba

Likely Pick P-106 (1975 commemorative 1-peso, XV Aniversario) — Pick/Krause number to verify. Distinct type from other 1-peso notes (different obverse layout with coat-of-arms and commemorative header; different reverse — port/industrial scene rather than the entry-into-Havana scene).
