| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms is centrally displayed in the field, featuring the traditional escutcheon with key, rising sun, and royal palm, supported by the national oak and laurel branches below. A curved legend arcing across the upper periphery reads REPUBLICA DE CUBA, while the face value 1 PESO appears along the lower rim. Two five-pointed stars flank the coat of arms on either side, serving as decorative separators between the legends and the central device. The design follows the standard obverse type used on Cuban commemorative peso coinage of the late twentieth century. |

| Reverse description | Three sailing vessels, representing the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María of Christopher Columbus's 1492 westward voyage, are depicted navigating open seas in dynamic relief. The ships are shown in profile sailing toward the left, consistent with a westward heading. A curved legend along the upper half of the field reads EN ALTA MAR RUMBO OESTE, referencing the high-seas westward course of the expedition. The mintmark and issue date 1990 appear to the right of the central design. The overall composition commemorates the quincentennial approach of Columbus's discovery of the Americas. |
