Owner Comments:
This medal was struck the same year as the 1952 Comemmorative Set (10 centavos, 20 centavos, and 40 centavos) at the Philadelphia Mint. Anthony De Francisci was responsible for the design. The observe depicts a slightly different vantage point than the 1952 Comemmorative Set. The reverse shows the six provinces of Cuba (at the time) with their respective Provincial Seals circling the National Coat of Arms. There is a total mintage of 5,000 for these medals. These are difficult to find in grades MS-65 or above.
