| Additional information |
Tania the Guerrilla Fighter — born Haydée Tamara Bunke Bider in Argentina to German communist émigrés — was the only woman to fight alongside Che Guevara in the disastrous 1966–67 Bolivia campaign. She was killed in an ambush at the Vado del Yeso river crossing in August 1967, two months before Guevara himself was captured and executed. Cuba elevated her immediately to revolutionary martyrdom.
This 1989 issue coincides with the campaign's 22nd anniversary and falls within a broader Cuban gold commemorative program targeting foreign hard-currency collectors rather than domestic circulation. The .999 fineness — finer than Soviet-era Cuban gold issues — reflects that export-market intent explicitly.
