10 Pesos Garibaldi

Giuseppe Garibaldi's connection to Cuba is direct and documented: he recruited volunteers on the island during his 1850s exile in the Americas, a period when he was effectively stateless following the collapse of the Roman Republic. Cuba's decision to honor him reflects the long-standing ideological alignment between the Cuban revolutionary tradition and Garibaldi's nationalist campaigns, which Fidel Castro's government periodically invoked as historical precedent for armed liberation movements.
