| Reverse description | An armored figure on a rearing horse faces right, depicting Santiago Matamoros (Saint James the Moor-slayer) in a dynamic equestrian pose, rendered in a classical heraldic style. The design commemorates the 478th anniversary of the founding of Santiago de Cuba. The reverse legend incorporates the intentional or erroneous spelling MILLENIVM (with a single N) for Millennium, and the Latin dedication SANCTI IACOBI. Inscriptions are arranged around and below the central equestrian device. |
