Obverse description The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a shield divided into three sections: the upper portion bears a rising sun over a mountainous seascape with a key symbolizing Cuba's geographic position, the lower left quarter displays the national flag motif with blue and white stripes, and the lower right quarter features a royal palm tree. The shield is surmounted by a Phrygian cap atop a staff, flanked on either side by branches of laurel and oak. The legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcs along the upper periphery, and the denomination 1 PESO appears in the lower field below the arms.

Reverse description A detailed depiction of the Nao Victoria, the first vessel to circumnavigate the globe as part of Magellan's expedition (1519–1522), is rendered in high relief at the center of the field, shown under full sail with multiple masts, rigging, pennants, and lateen sails billowing outward as the ship navigates stylized ocean waves. The name NAO VICTORIA is inscribed within a banner-like cartouche in the lower central field, with the date 1994 appearing below in the exergue, separated by a decorative scrollwork device.
