| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring the royal palm within a shield flanked by an oak branch and a laurel branch, with a Phrygian cap atop the shield and a rising sun in the background. The legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 1 PESO is inscribed below the arms. Two five-pointed stars flank the central design at either side, serving as decorative separators between the legend and the face value. |
