A far as I know, one Cuban Convertible Peso (CUC) = 26 Cuban Pesos = 1USD. Is it means, that face value of 3 Pesos (KM# 346a) is wrong in Numista database?

I thought the 3-peso coins were not from the convertible peso series.
They began production long before the modern series of convertible peso coins.
I have seen a few lots of coins brought back from Cuba by Canadian tourists (Canadians love going to Cuba): sometimes you see a $3 coin in those piles, but it is in the same pile as the normal, CUP Cuban peso coins. And Krause also says that the $3 is not a CUC convertible peso coin.
But it's all very confusing

This coin is not for tourists. But if you go small cities and buy on the street food, you always get the other currency back.
The prices are always in $ and you have just to feel which currency they mean...
