| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a shield divided into three quarters bearing a royal palm, a rising sun over the sea, and the Straits of Florida between the Yucatan Peninsula and Florida; the shield is surmounted by a Phrygian cap on a pike and flanked by sprays of laurel and oak. The circular 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's late-period CUP collector series leaned heavily on marine biology subjects, and the triggerfishes were among the more scientifically precise choices — Rhinecanthus aculeatus is native to Indo-Pacific reefs, not Cuban waters, which makes its appearance on a Cuban peso a matter of curatorial reach rather than national fauna.
