KM-25. Struck for the 50th Anniversary of the Republic. This delightful commemorative is fully brilliant and displays a deeply frosted texture to the surfaces. It is a well struck and carefully preserved Gem that will nicely represent the issue in any Cuban type set.
The reverse depicts the ruins of La Demajagua Sugar Factory, where, in 1868, Carlos Manuel de Céspedes liberated his slaves and encouraged them to join his rebellion against Spain, initiating the Cuban War of Independence.
