| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is printed in black on white paper, with the Cuban coat of arms — a shield bearing a key, striped fields, and a royal palm — displayed in a vignette at the upper left. The heading reads 'LA REPUBLICA DE CUBA' in bold letterpress across the top centre, followed by the bearer clause 'Pagará al portador' in script and the denomination 'UN PESO' in a boldly framed panel. A circular guilloche rosette at the upper right contains the numeral '1', with the series designation at the lower left and the number printed in red at the upper right. The body of the note carries a Spanish-language legal text and the year '1869' within a small red overprint seal at the lower right. |

| Opmerkingen |
The 1869 Cuban peso notes were issued not by a bank but by the revolutionary government of the Ten Years' War — the first serious armed uprising against Spanish colonial rule. With no formal treasury infrastructure and a guerrilla administration operating largely in the field, these notes were a political act as much as a monetary one. Spain refused to recognize them, and Spanish authorities actively suppressed their use.
Genuine examples are scarce. The issuing authority had no reliable printing resources, and much of the surviving paper from this conflict was lost or deliberately destroyed during Spanish pacification campaigns.
