This is one of 4 War of Independence (Correo Insurecto) stamps issued in 1896 or 7.
Not in Scott. Edifil #2 to 5 this one is #3 (5 centavos)
Typically selling in the $50 range.
The history behind this war and the events leading to the Spanish American War is fascinating : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_War_of_Independence
These are often called Mambi Stamps. https://www.cubacollectibles.com/cuba-1896-stamp-set-mambi.html
