Circular silver medal with laterally-pierced ball suspension; the face with the head and shoulders of a female figure representative of Cuba wearing armour and a plumed helmet; the reverse with the arms of Cuba surmounted by a Phrygian bonnet bearing a five-pointed star within a wreath of oak and laurel, circumscribed ‘PATRIA HONOR DEBER (Country, Honour, Duty); on original ribbon with two silver chevrons and the trace of a third, now absent. *** THE ARMED FORCES MERIT MEDAL. Circular silver medal with laterally-pierced ball suspension; the face with a trophy of arms consisting of a crossed cannon and rifle imposed on a naval anchor and a cutlass, a castle and a standard, an early biplane above, inscribed ‘CUBA’ below; the reverse dated ‘4 SEPT. 1933’ within a wreath of oak and laurel, a radiant five-pointed star above; on original ribbon in the colours of the ‘Flag of 4 September 1933’. On 4 September 1933 the dictatorship of General Gerardo Machado y Morales (1871-1939) was toppled in what was termed ‘the Sergeants’ Revolt’ led by Sergeant (later General and President) Fulgencio Batista y Zaldívar (1901-1973) supported by a popular uprising and agents of the U.S.A..

Circular silver medal with laterally-pierced ball suspension; the face with a military and a civilian arm laterally, shaking hands, the radiant upper half of the Armed Forces Merit Medal above, circumscribed ‘4 SEPT de 1933’, a fasces on a laurel wreath below circumscribed ‘PATRIA ORDEN JUSTICIA’ (Country, Order, Justice); the reverse with a five-pointed star imposed on a rayed hexagon with concave sides, circumscribed ‘A LA PERPETUIDAD DEL 4 de SEPTIEMBRE’ (To the perpetuation of 4 September); on original ribbon in the colours of the ‘Flag of 4 September 1933’ with an eight-pointed silver star. For the significance of the date, please see the description of the Armed Forces Merit Medal above. The medal was awarded after the coup in 1933. ***A rare and exceptional group, probably from the mid-1930s.
