| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a shield divided into three quarters: the upper quarter bearing a rising sun over a sea between two headlands, the middle quarter displaying a golden key symbolizing Cuba's strategic position, and the lower quarter showing a blue-and-white striped field with a royal palm tree. The shield is surmounted by a Phrygian cap on a pike and flanked by laurel and oak branches tied at the base. The curved legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 1 PESO appears in the lower field beneath the arms. |
