Comment
Ernest Hemingway and Fidel Castro met on the annual marlin fishing contest of 1960.Interesting fact
The 1 Peso (Castro and Hemingway) 2010 coin from Cuba features a unique design that combines the images of two iconic figures: Fidel Castro and Ernest Hemingway. This coin is a non-circulating legal tender, meaning it is not meant to be used as regular currency but instead serves as a collectible item. The coin's design is particularly interesting because it highlights the close relationship between the two men, who were known to have a deep respect for each other. Castro, who was the former President of Cuba, was a great admirer of Hemingway's literature, and Hemingway, who lived in Cuba for many years, was a strong supporter of the Cuban Revolution. The coin's design captures this bond between the two men and serves as a symbol of the strong cultural ties between Cuba and the United States.
