Cuba (struck in Mexico), gold pattern 20 pesos, 1970, Ernesto Che Guevara, extremely rare, NGC PF 62 Ultra Cameo, finest and only example in NGC census. KM-unl. 41 grams. Very three-dimensional frosted portrait of Che Guevara (with tiny red spot on neck) in the same design as the silver 1 peso of the same year (KM-XM31a), made by the Central de Numismatica y Medallistica de Mexico (but never issued), with virtually no marks but "sweaty" field texture that must be the reason for its somewhat low assessment by NGC, especially compared with the hairlined example in the same grade (no longer in the census) sold by Heritage in 2022, the only other one we have ever seen or heard of.
