It appears to be scratched to death/details and it's not a rare coin

 

Che not only a national hero in Cuba ,but he was also the treasure of the national bank.
I have a Cuban note collection several with his name on the note.

 

I don't think it is rare or valuable. But it is an interesting coin. I would like to own one.
I have a Cuban 3 Peso note that features Che

 

Che is an interesting person to read up on....he was one of the 49 who left Mexico with Castro to over throw the US backed goverment of Cuba.
I do have a few pesos with his portrait on them.

 

Here's a WW ll era short snorter note

 

When it is interesting and people want to own one, therefore it is valuable and rare, because it is hard to find!

They are neither valuable OR rare.

 

What is interesting about Cuban notes ...take a look at who printed the 1 peso note above.
Then know that pre 1959/1960 the National bank note company were printing them...but after 1960 and they had to go to Eroupe to find someone to print their money.

 

There are not sold on Ebay because you can't buy Cuba coins on Ebay anymore unless they just labeled it peso or centavos or Caribbean. Not very valuable, but would be nice to have. I have mainly Cuban star coins. They are easy to find at coin shows in Vegas.

 

I bet they were coined at the US mint too.

 

If you're looking for anything Cuban on eBay try looking under alternative search terms. Typing “Caribbean Island” or “Caribe” into the search bar will typically give you the most search results.

 

As you know this is a part of the above link! without mentioning the 1992's mintage which apparently is 5000?

Even here for sale, an EF coin is only selling for $4.19... Your coin is not anywhere near EF, nor proof-like, or anything. It is scratched and heavily circulated. Your coin is not worth much.

 

Now if your coin is 2019 catalog KM#346, made from Copper-Nickel, and is a proof coin then it might be scarce mintage-500 graded PF65 = $15.00

Now if your coin is 2019 catalog KM#346.a, made from Nickel-Plated Steel, see if your coin is attracted to a magnet ??? values in my catalog XF40-$2.50, MS60-$5.00, MS63-$7.00, MS65-$9.00

 

Can you take better photos of your coin ? It might not be valuable, but worth holding on too. There are Che Guevara fans out there...

 

Post-1961 Cuban coins aren't easy to come by. I'd keep it regardless of rarity.

 

Ernesto "Che" Guevara (Spanish: [ˈtʃe ɣeˈβaɾa];[2] 14 June 1928[3] – 9 October 1967) 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 countercultural symbol of rebellion and global insignia in popular culture.[4]

As a young medical student, Guevara traveled throughout South America and was radicalized by the poverty, hunger, and disease he witnessed.[5][6] His burgeoning desire to help overturn what he saw as the capitalist exploitation of Latin America by the United States prompted his involvement in Guatemala's social reforms under President Jacobo Árbenz, whose eventual CIA-assisted overthrow at the behest of the United Fruit Company solidified Guevara's political ideology.[5] Later in Mexico City, Guevara met Raúl and Fidel Castro, joined their 26th of July Movement, and sailed to Cuba aboard the yacht Granmawith the intention of overthrowing U.S.-backed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista.[7] Guevara soon rose to prominence among the insurgents, was promoted to second-in-command, and played a pivotal role in the two-year guerrilla campaign that deposed the Batista regime.[8]

Following the Cuban Revolution, Guevara performed a number of key roles in the new government. These included reviewing the appeals and firing squads for those convicted as war criminals during the revolutionary tribunals,[9] instituting agrarian land reform as minister of industries, helping spearhead a successful nationwide literacy campaign, serving as both national bank president and instructional director for Cuba's armed forces, and traversing the globe as a diplomat on behalf of Cuban socialism. Such positions also allowed him to play a central role in training the militia forces who repelled the Bay of Pigs Invasion,[10] and bringing Soviet nuclear-armed ballistic missiles to Cuba, which preceded the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.[11] Additionally, Guevara was a prolific writer and diarist, composing a seminal guerrilla warfare manual, along with a best-selling memoir about his youthful continental motorcycle journey. His experiences and studying of Marxism–Leninism led him to posit that the Third World's underdevelopment and dependence was an intrinsic result of imperialism, neocolonialism and monopoly capitalism, with the only remedy being proletarian internationalism and world revolution.[12][13] Guevara left Cuba in 1965 to foment continental revolutions across both Africa and South America,[14] first unsuccessfully in Congo-Kinshasa and later in Bolivia, where he was captured by CIA-assisted Bolivian forces and summarily executed.[15]

Guevara remains both a revered and reviled historical figure, polarized in the collective imagination in a multitude of biographies, memoirs, essays, documentaries, songs, and films. As a result of his perceived martyrdom, poetic invocations for class struggle, and desire to create the consciousness of a "new man" driven by moral rather than material incentives,[16] Guevara has evolved into a quintessential icon of various leftist movements. In contrast, his ideological critics on the right accuse him of authoritarianism and sanctifying violence against his political opponents. Despite disagreements on his legacy, Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century,[17] while an Alberto Korda photograph of him, titled Guerrillero Heroico, was cited by the Maryland Institute College of Artas "the most famous photograph in the world".[18]
