Notes
Maker: Not determinable from the obverse (reverse not shown). Issued in connection with the "Festival del Disco Soviético," the Cuban festival/record series whose discs appeared on EGREM's Areito label.
Date: Undated. The associated festival/series is documented in Cuba and is consistent with the 1960s–80s Soviet–Cuban cultural-exchange period, so a date within 1959–1990 is likely; the precise year is unconfirmed and nothing on the object fixes it. Tentative.
Place of Origin: Issued for a Cuban event (Spanish-language text). Manufacture origin — Cuban-made or Soviet-made for the Cuban market — is not determinable without the reverse. Tentative.Inscription/Signature/Marks
