| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring the traditional design with a royal palm, rising sun over the sea, and a Phrygian cap. A curved legend along the upper periphery reads the country name, while the face value appears below the arms, flanked on each side by a five-pointed star. The design follows the standard Cuban peso obverse type established for the commemorative series. |

| Additional information |
Cuba issued a substantial series of commemorative copper-nickel pesos throughout the 1980s and early 1990s targeting the international collector market, often depicting Latin American independence figures with little connection to Cuban domestic monetary use. Most never circulated. Bolívar is an unusual choice for Havana — a Venezuelan general who died in 1830, a full century before the Cuban Revolution, and whose political philosophy was fundamentally republican rather than socialist.
