| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse displays the Cuban national coat of arms at the left of centre — a shield bearing a golden key between two promontories above a rising sun, with a royal palm in the central panel, surmounted by a Phrygian cap on a fasces, and flanked by sprays of oak and laurel. To the right of the arms, a multi-line commemorative legend in the field reads '30 ANIVERSARIO DE LA CAIDA EN COMBATE DE ERNESTO GUEVARA DE LA SERNA Y SUS COMPAÑEROS.' The circular legend 'REPUBLICA DE CUBA' arcs along the upper rim, while the denomination '10 PESOS' appears along the lower rim, flanked by the silver fineness indication '1 OZ' and 'AG 0,999'. The design is executed in proof finish with deeply mirrored fields contrasting against frosted relief elements. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cuba issued a substantial run of silver commemoratives throughout the 1990s, many targeting the collector export market to generate hard currency — ironic, given the U.S. embargo made American collectors among the most eager buyers through third-party dealers. This piece honors Ernesto Guevara in his capacity as president of the Banco Nacional de Cuba, a post he held from November 1959 to February 1961, during which he famously signed banknotes simply "Che."
His appointment was reportedly the result of a misunderstanding at a cabinet meeting — Fidel Castro asked who present was an economist, and Guevara raised his hand, later admitting he thought Castro had said "communist."
