Cuba
Jose Marti bronze "Birth Centennial" Medal 1953 AU, 75mm/230.25g. Struck to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Jose Marti in 1853, who through his political activism, inspired much of Cuba's independence movement and ultimately became the nation's most beloved hero. This medal, the first we have seen, appears to have been made by casting, with rich brown color and pebbly textured surfaces. A wisp of friction on the highpoints defines the grade.
