Cuba issued this coin in 1997 to mark the thirtieth anniversary of Ernesto Guevara's death in Bolivia, where he was captured by CIA-assisted Bolivian forces on October 8, 1967, and executed the following day at La Higuera. The timing was deliberate — 1997 was also the year Guevara's remains were exhumed from a mass grave near Vallegrande and repatriated to Cuba, where they were interred at a purpose-built mausoleum in Santa Clara.
The JMA reference places this within Cuba's joint foreign-exchange commemorative program, coins produced for hard-currency collectors rather than domestic circulation.
