Apparently this medal is also called "Granma" medal (Granma is the boat used by castro to join Cuba from Mexico). I'm very surprised by the high quality of this medal.

Well, since cuban awards were made in East Germany, they have that nice DDR look. However, quality has changed. Cuban-made awards are easy to distinguish from DDR ones.
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
The Who, Won't get fooled again
