100 Pesos Heroic Guerilla Fighter

Cuba's 1992 gold series commemorating Ernesto Guevara was issued during one of the island's most economically desperate periods — the "Special Period in Time of Peace," triggered by the Soviet Union's collapse and the abrupt end of preferential trade arrangements that had sustained the Cuban economy for three decades. Hard currency was scarce enough that coins like this were minted almost exclusively for export sale and foreign collector markets, never intended to circulate domestically.

The JMA reference places this within the Cuban state mint's catalogued foreign-exchange issues, a category that functioned more as revenue generation than numismatic program.
