20 Pesos 40th. anniversary of Guevara's death

Che Guevara was executed in La Higuera, Bolivia on October 9, 1967, on orders confirmed to have come from the CIA and the Bolivian government following his capture the previous day. Cuba has issued commemorative silver in his name repeatedly since the 1990s, and by 2007 the series had grown predictable — this 62.2g piece is among the heavier of them, placing it in the one-troy-ounce bullion-adjacent category that the Cuban state increasingly leaned on for hard currency generation during the post-Soviet Special Period's long economic tail.
