Fidel Castro Original Vintage Signed Certificate 2001 Colour

About the Item

- A certificate of recognition awarded to a Cuban social worker in 2001 - Featuring a fine signature from Fidel Castro Fidel Castro (1926 – 2016) was a Cuban revolutionary and politician who led the Republic of Cuba as Prime Minister from 1959-1976, and then as President from 1976-2008. Castro was the architect of the 1959 Cuban Revolution, which overturned the right-wing authoritarian government and turned the nation into a one-party socialist state. Castro remains one of the most divisive political figures of the 20th century, revered by many as a champion of social justice and anti-imperialism, and hated by others as a brutal dictator. Prior to his death in November 2016, Castro was listed on the PFC40 Autograph Index as the world's most valuable living signature, with the price of his autograph having risen 16.9% per annum since 2000. This certificate was awarded to a Fernando J Valdes Freenas in July 2001 and commemorates his completion of a course in social work. These large certificates were produced throughout Castro’s presidency to recognise the efforts of Cubans in society. This is a particularly good specimen. Measuring 16.5 x 11.8 inches, it features a bold example of Castro’s signature in blue felt tip pen. Free global shipping. "Certificate of Authenticity" and our Lifetime Moneyback "Guarantee of Authenticity" included.
