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 10 Pesos (Camilo Cienfuegos) 1988 coin from Cuba is interesting because it features an image of Camilo Cienfuegos, a Cuban revolutionary who played a key role in the Cuban Revolution, on its obverse side.
