| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms is centrally depicted in the field, featuring the characteristic shield divided into three sections with a golden key between two landmasses, a rising sun, and a royal palm tree, surmounted by a Phrygian cap above a fasces, and flanked by sprigs of oak and laurel. The circular legend 'REPUBLICA DE CUBA' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '1 PESO' is inscribed along the lower periphery. The design is rendered in a clean, moderate relief against a smooth field. |

| Additional information |
Cuba's hard-currency commemorative program of the late 1980s and early 1990s targeted the collector export market almost entirely — peso-denominated coins in nickel-plated steel were produced for face value circulation while silver and gold counterparts in the same designs were sold abroad for convertible currency. La Giralda, the former minaret of the Almohad-era Great Mosque of Seville converted into a cathedral bell tower after the Reconquista, became a recurring subject in Cuban issues partly because of the island's deep architectural and cultural ties to Andalusia.
