Here is a pic of the reverse showing the Cuban coat of arms.
This Order is a female award and is conferred to Cuban female citizens for merit deserved for their undisputed fidelity to the revolutionary and internationalist ideals and extraordinary activity in creative work, defense and research, as well as to foreign female citizens who distinguish themselves in defense of revolutionary ideals, anti-imperialist struggle and for the liberation and independence of the people, or whose labor in any field significantly contributes to the importance of their nation and whose solidarity spirit has crossed international boundaries. Two different variations of the reverse Pic Co Megan

Re: Orden "Ana Betancourt"
Ana Betancourt (December 14, 1832 Camagüey, Cuba – February 7, 1901 Madrid, Spain)
She took a leading role in the war of independence from Spain and is a national heroine in Cuba. The first Cuban war of independence from Spain began in 1868. Women, known as Mambisas, played a significant role in the war, as political agitators, nurses, and fighters. Ana Betancourt, was from a wealthy landholding family and was one of the first to argue for women in Cuban. She was married to the patriot Ignacio Mora de la Pera. In 1869, she addressed the Constitutional Assembly of Cuban patriots at Guáimaro in which she linked female emancipation to the abolition of slavery and the struggle against colonialism. Although unused to hardship she lived in the forest with the revolutionaries. On July 9th, 1871, she and her husband were taken by surprise by the Spanish forces and captured. She was sentenced to exile in Spain where she lived the rest of her life never seeing de la Pera again. She continued to support the cause of Cuban independence from her exile. At the age of 69 in 1901 she was about to return to her native country but contracted fulminating bronchopneumonia and died before she could begin her journey. Her remains were buried in Spain until 1968. In that year they were set in the pantheon of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, in the Cemetery Colón in Havana. She is commemorated in the modern Republic of Cuba by the Order of Anna Betancourt medal, awarded to Cuban women who “demonstrate revolutionary and internationalist merit and anti-imperialist fidelity and/or great merit in a field of work that contributes to the national interest.” Originally this was the highest award of the Federation of Cuban Women, and the order was officially sanctioned in 1979 as a state award. The Cuban Ana Betancourt schools for rural girls are named in her honour.
