Medal Series commemorating Puerto Rico native pre-colombian "Taino" indian chiefs known as "Caciques".  The first and original medal edition series was minted early 1970's in the San Juan Mint in Old San Juan Puerto Rico, owned by Luis A De Casenave.
Tomas Batista was the Artist/sculptor who worked on this project originated by Walter Murray Chiessa and worked with Delgado Brothers. Mintages/qty's are unknown since they were produced as souvenir conmemorative pieces and jewelry-bracelet charms, earings, etc. in 5 different diameters (30.1mm, 26.5mm, 20.0mm, 18.0mm, and 13.9mm) in metals such as gold, silver, bronce, and some copper high relief trials-patterns. These were sold at a Bayamon city jewelry store and at the San Juan Mint Shop.  It is believe hundreds might have been produced, but only a few exist in private collections since the majority were melted when the value of gold and silver skyrocketed in the 1980's.
