| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring a shield divided into three quarters: the upper portion displaying a rising sun over a sea between two capes, the lower-left quarter bearing diagonal blue and white stripes representing the original Cuban provinces, and the lower-right quarter depicting a royal palm tree. The shield is surmounted by a Phrygian cap on a fasces and a five-pointed star, flanked on the left by a branch of oak and on the right by a branch of laurel, with crossed cannon barrels at the base. The legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin characters, with the denomination 1 PESO inscribed in the lower field beneath the arms. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a richly adorned African female figure standing to the left in the foreground, wearing traditional ceremonial dress and holding a bouquet of flowers, symbolising the African cultural heritage brought to the Americas. Behind her, a large period caravel under full sail rides stylised waves across the central and right fields, evoking the transatlantic crossings of the Age of Discovery. The Roman numeral V and the word CENTENARIO are inscribed along the upper left arc, commemorating the quincentenary of Columbus's voyage. The date 1992 appears at the lower right among the waves, while the three-line legend PRESENCIA DE AFRICA EN AMERICA is inscribed in the lower exergue, all in raised Latin characters. |
