| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a shield divided into three sections: the upper portion features a golden key between two rocky promontories symbolizing Cuba's strategic position, the left section bears a red-and-white striped design representing the original departments, and the lower section displays a landscape with a rising sun. The shield is flanked by laurel and oak branches tied with a ribbon, and surmounted by a Phrygian cap on a pole. The legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcs along the upper periphery, with the denomination 1 PESO inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Part of Cuba's long-running series of tourist-oriented collector pesos, this issue was produced by the state minting enterprise primarily for hard-currency sales rather than domestic circulation. Trinidad's colonial center, including the cathedral depicted, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988 alongside the nearby Valle de los Ingenios — the sugar plantation valley that funded the town's extraordinary concentration of 18th and 19th century architecture.
