| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, surrounded by a beaded or rope border running close to the rim. The curved legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arches along the upper periphery, while the denomination 1 PESO appears at the base, flanked on each side by a five-pointed star. The design follows the standard Cuban republic obverse type established for the commemorative peso series. |

| Additional information |
Cuba issued a series of commemorative copper-nickel pesos throughout the 1980s and early 1990s targeting the international collector market rather than domestic circulation — hard currency generation, not monetary policy, drove the program. Ferdinand II of Aragon financed Columbus's 1492 voyage after Isabella's Castilian treasury bore the initial burden, a division of sponsorship that Cuban state numismatic literature has historically simplified.
