| Reverse description | A full-length standing figure of Jose Marti, the Cuban national hero and poet, depicted in the manner of a monumental statue; he is shown in formal 19th-century attire — frock coat and waistcoat — with his right arm raised and extended in an oratorical gesture, while his left arm holds a draped garment at his side. The figure stands upon a sculpted rocky pedestal. The name 'Jose Marti' is inscribed in script lettering to the left of the figure, and the date '2001' with a small mintmark appears to the right. The arc legend '106 ANIVERSARIO DE SU CAIDA EN COMBATE' runs along the upper periphery, commemorating the 106th anniversary of his death in battle. |

| Additional information |
José Martí died on May 19, 1895, killed by Spanish rifle fire at Dos Ríos within weeks of returning to Cuba to fight — a death that immediately transformed him from revolutionary organizer into martyr. Cuba's government has issued commemorative gold around his anniversaries with considerable regularity, and the 2001 centenary issue falls into that pattern. KM#822 was struck at a reported mintage low enough to keep it a collector-only piece; it never approached general circulation.
