Following the overthrow of Batista’s regime, Che held important government positions, including President of the National Bank and Minister of Industry. He is globally recognized as a symbol of social justice, sacrifice, and anti-imperialism. The note also shows the issuing bank “Banco Central de Cuba” and the denomination.
