| Additional information |
The "¡Tierra, Tierra!" series commemorates the 500th anniversary approach of Columbus's 1492 landfall, a program Cuba launched years ahead of the 1992 quincentennial to position itself within — and critically against — the dominant Spanish and American commemorative narratives. The without-exergue variety is a recognized die variant within this issue, distinguished from the standard type by the absence of a ground line beneath the central device, a detail significant enough to warrant separate cataloging under JMA references.
