| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, displaying the traditional escutcheon with key, rays, and royal palm, surrounded by an oak and laurel wreath tied with a ribbon at the base. The curved legend 'REPUBLICA DE CUBA' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '1 PESO' appears in the lower field beneath the arms. |

| Additional information |
Cuba issued a series of nickel-plated steel pesos throughout the 1990s targeting the international collector market — hard currency the domestic economy desperately needed following the collapse of Soviet subsidies in 1991. Expo 2000, held in Hanover rather than Brussels, makes the geographic attribution here worth scrutinizing; Brussels hosted Expo 1958, and no world exposition was staged there in 2000.
