Reversbeschreibung The reverse presents a right-facing bust portrait of José Martí, the Cuban national hero and poet, rendered in high relief with fine detail in his hair and collar. The portrait occupies the majority of the coin's field, conveying a dignified and resolute likeness of the patriot. Flanking the bust along the upper periphery, the commemorative legend CENTENARIO DE MARTI arcs in raised Latin capitals. The birth year 1853 appears at the lower left and the centenary year 1953 at the lower right, separated from the legend by raised dot punctuation, marking the centennial of Martí's birth.

Zusätzliche Informationen

The 1953 centavo was issued specifically to mark the centennial of José Martí's birth — a date the Batista government exploited with considerable political calculation, flooding the island with commemorative coinage bearing the revolutionary poet's image at a moment when genuine revolutionary sentiment was already building against the regime. Martí had died in 1895 leading the charge against Spanish rule; by 1953, Fidel Castro would launch his assault on the Moncada Barracks in July of that same centennial year, explicitly invoking Martí's name as justification.

The series ran for only two years under the KM#26 type before the Revolution rendered the Banco Nacional's pre-Castro issues obsolete.
