Ernesto Che Guevara

The Engraving is done from the world-famous two-tone portrait of Che Guevara from the front, which became a symbol of romantic revolutionary movement. The portrait was created by Irish artist Jim Fitzpatrick from the photo, made in 1960 by Cuban photographer Alberto ​​Korda. On Che Gevara's hat is the star of Jose Marti, the hallmark of Comandante, received from Fidel Castro in July 1957 along with this title.

Ernesto "Che" Guevara [June 14, 1928 - October 9, 1967), commonly known as el Che or simply Che, was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, guerrilla leader, diplomat, and military theorist. A major figure of the Cuban Revolution, his stylized visage has become a ubiquitous counter cultural symbol of rebellion and global insignia in popular culture.

Denominations are in lower left and top right corners, also centered.

Comments:

security security

On the reverse of the banknote, on the right, vertically, a stripe is imprinted (most likely for the purpose of protection against counterfeiting). The inscription repeats on the strip: "Banco Central de Cuba Tres Pesos".

However, it is not yet clear for what purpose, but, in the word TRES, a mistake was made in one place, the letter E is missing - TRS.
