| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large coloured central insert dominates the reverse, depicting the iconic silhouetted portrait of Ernesto Che Guevara facing forward, rendered in black against a vivid blue sky background, with a red star prominently featured on his beret. The surrounding silver border carries the name ERNESTO CHE GUEVARA arcing along the upper field, with the Spanish inscription LA REVOLUCION arranged vertically along the left periphery and the English motto BETTER TO DIE STANDING THAN TO LIVE ON YOUR KNEES inscribed vertically along the right periphery. The life dates 1928-1967 appear in the lower exergue. The contrast between the coloured insert and the antique-finished silver border creates a striking visual effect. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Republic of the Congo has no historical or political connection to Che Guevara worth noting — which is precisely the point. These issues are struck not for circulation but for the international collector market, leveraging a globally recognizable image under a jurisdiction whose mint authority costs less to license than most. The Congo's BEAC membership means it shares a genuine currency system with five other nations; this piece exists entirely outside that framework.
The ".9999 silver" specification and "bimetallic and steel black face" descriptor in the same catalog record warrants scrutiny before acquisition.
