Cuba has issued Che Guevara commemoratives repeatedly since the 1970s, but this 2003 piece falls within a period when the Cuban state was aggressively marketing silver collector issues to foreign buyers as a hard-currency revenue stream — euros and dollars the domestic economy desperately needed. The coins were never intended for Cuban circulation; most went directly to European and Latin American dealers.
KM#792 is one of several overlapping Guevara types from this era, which has created persistent catalog confusion between issues of similar size and fineness struck within just a few years of each other.
