The front depicts the portrait of Che Guevara, born in Argentina in 1928, became famous for his central role in the Cuban Revolution alongside Fidel Castro, overthrowing the Batista regime in 1959. An emblematic figure of revolutionary Marxism, he advocated armed struggle against imperialism and participated in revolutionary efforts in Africa and South America. His image has become a global symbol of the struggle for social justice and revolution, although his life and legacy still spark intense debate, with some glorifying him as a hero of liberation, while others criticize his methods and his authoritarian vision. Che Guevara was captured and executed in Bolivia in 1967, marking the end of his short but influential life.
