Comment
Camilo Cienfuegos Gorriarán was a Cuban revolutionary, very close to Fidel Castro and Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Shared the invasion of 1956 with Castro, and took part of the Santa Clara battle with Guevara on 1959. On October 1959, the airplane where he was, in flight to Havana disappeared. Never was found the plane nor known news about the passengers and tripulation. This coin commemorates the 40th. anniversary of his death.Interesting fact
The 1989 Cuba 1 Peso coin featuring Camilo Cienfuegos is interesting because it was minted in a limited quantity of only 5,000 pieces, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
