Partly-printed DS in Spanish, signed “Che,” one page, 15.75 x 12, September 1962. Cuban Ministry of Industry "Mencion de Honor" certificate awarded to Arturo Benitez Navarro, signed at the conclusion by Guevara as Minister of Industries in his typically diminutive hand. In very good condition, with moderate overall toning, areas of light discoloration, and a short tear to the left edge. Guevara was at the very top of Castro’s government when this document was signed, serving not only as minister of industries but as president of the Cuban National Bank. Despite his high status, the activist in Guevara disliked his official duties—leading him to dismissively and diminutively sign solely as "Che" in his governmental capacities.
