| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring a shield divided into three quarters: the upper portion displays a golden key between two promontories over blue waves symbolizing the island's strategic position, the middle band bears the Phrygian cap atop a pole flanked by fasces, and the lower quarter displays diagonal blue and white stripes. The shield is surmounted by a Phrygian cap on a pole and flanked on either side by a branch of oak to the left and a laurel branch to the right, tied together at the base. A five-pointed star adorns each side of the legend within the rope-beaded border. The circular legend reads REPUBLICA DE CUBA around the upper periphery, with the denomination 1 PESO below the shield. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents two rows of conjoined busts of Spanish monarchs in high relief against a plain field, within a rope-beaded border. In the upper register, the facing busts of Queen Isabella I and King Ferdinand II are depicted side by side, their reigns indicated by the dates 1474–1504 to the left and 1475–1516 to the right; a ribbon scroll below their effigies bears the Latinized names ELISABET and FERNANDVS. In the lower register, the conjoined busts of Philip I and Joanna of Castile face one another, flanked by the dates 1506 to the left and 1504–1555 to the right, with a scroll below bearing the legend PHILIPPVS • IOANNAV. The circular peripheral legend reads V CENTENARIO ★ 1492 ★ REYES DE ESPAÑA, commemorating the fifth centenary of Columbus's voyage. |
