| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a shield divided into three sections: the upper portion shows a rising sun over a seascape with the key of the Gulf of Mexico, the lower-left section bears alternating blue and white diagonal stripes representing the original Cuban departments, and the lower-right section displays a royal palm tree on a mountainous landscape. The shield is surmounted by a Phrygian cap atop a fasces, symbolizing liberty and strength. Flanking the shield are branches of oak on the left and laurel on the right, tied at the base, with a five-pointed star at each lower corner. The circumferential legend reads REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcing across the upper field, and UN PESO along the lower field, all within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A forward-facing bust portrait of Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, the Cuban independence hero known as the 'Father of the Homeland,' is rendered in high relief at the center of the field. He is depicted with shoulder-length hair, a prominent mustache and goatee, and wearing a cravat and coat typical of the mid-nineteenth century. The date 1868, commemorating the Grito de Yara and the start of the Ten Years' War, appears to the left of the portrait, while the mint year 1977 flanked by a small key symbol and a star appears to the right. The circumferential legend CARLOS MANUEL DE CESPEDES arcs across the upper field, and GRITO DE YARA is inscribed along the lower field, flanked by five-pointed stars, all within a beaded border. |
