| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed agricultural scene commemorating World Food Day, centred on a composition featuring tall sugar cane stalks in the left foreground with broad leaves extending across the lower field. In the middle ground to the right, mechanical harvesting equipment and a sugar mill with smokestacks are rendered in fine relief against an open field. The mint mark, a key surmounted by a five-pointed star, appears in the central field alongside the date 1981. The curved legend DIA MUNDIAL DE LA ALIMENTACION arcs around the upper periphery, and the word AZUCAR is inscribed along the lower border, all in raised Latin capitals. |

| Additional information |
Cuba's commemorative peso series of the late 1970s and early 1980s was produced largely for hard currency export rather than domestic circulation — the island's dollar shortage made foreign collector sales a pragmatic revenue stream. These pieces were distributed through state-controlled agencies and rarely, if ever, reached Cuban pockets.
