| 裏面の説明 | A finely engraved intaglio vignette occupies the central field, presenting a panoramic view of the Castillo San Salvador de la Punta in Havana as it appeared in 1600, with stone ramparts, corner towers, and cannon emplacements rendered in precise detail. The caption 'CASTILLO SAN SALVADOR DE LA PUNTA, CIUDAD DE LA HABANA, 1600' is inscribed above the vignette. The denomination 'UN PESO' appears at upper right and lower left, framed by a decorative guilloche border in green throughout. |

Cuba's dual-currency system produced two parallel series of foreign exchange certificates in the 1980s — one backed by convertible ("hard") currencies, one by socialist-bloc currencies. The "B" series, distinguished by its blue serial prefix, was specifically for visitors arriving with Soviet, East German, Czech, or other COMECON currencies. Holders were restricted to designated "B" shops, which stocked considerably less than the dollar-backed "A" circuit stores. The practical effect was a three-tier purchasing hierarchy: hard currency tourists, bloc-currency visitors, and ordinary Cubans.
Státní Tiskárna Cenin in Prague printed the entire FX series — a logical arrangement given Cuba's close economic ties with Czechoslovakia throughout this period.
