Reverse description A draped female bust representing the Republic faces right, dividing the date 18 97 with the numerals widely spaced on either side. The patriotic motto curves along the upper periphery within a beaded border, while the word SOUVENIR appears in the exergue below, accompanied by the patent notation PAT. 97. The overall design reflects the aspirational iconography of Cuban independence, engraved by Philip Martiny.
