Medal "Haydée Santamaría".

[Taz]

Here is another example. Certainly more than 8 awarded.

That was as it stood from 1989-2007 so it stands to reason that more have been awarded since, plus many unawarded Medals on the market by now.
At the time when the Cuban section was started any information was groundbreaking because none existed on the web as such and had to be painstakingley sought on Cuban web sites.
