| Additional information |
The Montecristi Manifesto was the political document drafted by José Martí and Máximo Gómez in the Dominican town of Montecristi in March 1895, weeks before Martí's death at Dos Ríos. It laid out the terms and moral framework for the final war of Cuban independence — insisting the struggle was not against Spaniards as a people but against colonial rule itself. This coin was struck in 1994 to mark the centenary of that document and the war it launched.
The two JMA references suggest this type was issued in at least two distinct variants, likely differing in finish or packaging rather than die design.
