Obverse description The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a shield divided into three quarters: the upper section shows a rising sun over a seascape with the golden key of the Gulf of Mexico; the lower left quarter bears diagonal blue and white stripes representing the original Cuban provinces; and the lower right quarter features a royal palm tree set against a mountainous landscape. The shield is surmounted by a Phrygian cap atop a pike, symbolising liberty, and is flanked by sprigs of laurel and oak tied at the base with a ribbon. Two five-pointed stars flank the lower legend. The circular legend reads REPUBLICA DE CUBA above and UN PESO below, all within a denticulated border.
