Obverse description The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a shield divided into three sections: the upper portion bears a golden key between two landmasses representing Cuba's position between the Americas, the lower-left section displays a blue-and-white striped field, and the lower-right bears a royal palm tree. The shield is surmounted by the Phrygian cap atop a fasces, symbolising liberty, and is flanked by laurel and oak branches tied at the base. The legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcs along the upper periphery, with the denomination 1 PESO inscribed along the lower rim, and a five-pointed star appears on each side in the field.
