The Friendship Medal (la Medalla de la Amistad) is conferred by the Council of State of Cuba on foreigners for their solidarity with the Cuban Revolution, or who have contributed to peace and the progress of humankind.
The medal is gold colored with the word "Amistad" (Friendship) in the center (with a single star above the writing). It is surrounded by a garland wreath. The medal hangs on a ribbon of vertical red, white and blue stripes.[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CmtX3hoUcAAMdre.jpg Twitter Picture]{{Cite web |url=http://filateliadelahabana.com/en/17660-o122-cuba-orden-medal-amistad.html |title=Picture from FilateliaDelHabana.com |access-date=2016-12-30 |archive-date=2016-12-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161230163112/http://filateliadelahabana.com/en/17660-o122-cuba-orden-medal-amistad.html |url-status=dead }}
