| Reverse description | The reverse presents a heroic bust of José Martí, Cuban national hero and poet, facing left in high relief, rendered in a classical style with strong facial features and a short-cropped beard. The portrait occupies the central field with the subject's neck and upper chest visible, conveying a dignified and resolute expression befitting a founding father of the Republic. The patriotic motto 'PATRIA Y LIBERTAD' is inscribed in an arc along the upper periphery, while the date of issue appears in the lower field below the bust. The design reflects the artistic sensibility of engraver Jaime Valls Diaz, combining neoclassical portraiture with republican symbolism. |
