背面描述	The reverse presents conjoined busts of Fidel Castro and Ernest Hemingway facing one another in high relief, their portraits rendered in a realistic sculptural style dominating the central field. The legend 50 ANIVERSARIO curves along the upper periphery. Below the effigies, a three-line inscription reads ENCUENTRO DE FIDEL CASTRO Y ERNEST HEMINGWAY, with the commemorative dates 1960-2010 inscribed beneath, commemorating the 50th anniversary of their historic meeting.

附加信息	Cuba has issued commemorative pesos bearing foreign cultural figures since the 1990s, a practice rooted partly in hard-currency tourism revenue and partly in Fidel Castro's genuine cultivation of relationships with prominent international leftists and intellectuals. Hemingway's connection to Cuba was substantive — he lived at Finca Vigía outside Havana for roughly twenty years and was personally acquainted with Castro, who awarded him a fishing trophy at the 1960 Ernest Hemingway Billfishing Tournament just months before relations between Cuba and the United States collapsed entirely. That 1960 meeting remains the only documented direct encounter between the two men.
