Cuba 1960 Revolution Anniversary
Cuba · 1960 · 1¢
This stamp commemorates the first anniversary of the Cuban Revolution. The design features a map of Cuba with a prominent star over the Sierra Maestra mountains, the base of the revolutionary forces. A Cuban flag is shown waving over the island, symbolizing the new government.
Issued one year after Fidel Castro's 26th of July Movement successfully overthrew the government of Fulgencio Batista, this stamp is an early piece of philatelic propaganda from the new revolutionary government.
