Beschrijving keerzijde	A detailed relief depiction of a Western Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus), commonly known in Spanish as Urogallo, occupies the central field, shown in a naturalistic stance with its distinctive fan-shaped tail and textured plumage rendered in fine detail. A bare tree branch is visible to the left of the bird, and rocky terrain forms the ground line. The curved legend FAUNA IBERICA EN EXTINCION arcs along the upper left periphery, with the species name UROGALLO continuing along the upper right. The date 2007 appears in small numerals in the lower right field.

Aanvullende informatie	The Western Capercaillie — Tetrao urogallus — is not native to Cuba, which raises an immediate question about why it appears on a Cuban peso at all. This piece belongs to a long-running series of Cuban collector coins featuring endangered species from around the world, a program that generated hard currency through foreign sales rather than domestic circulation. Most examples were sold directly to European collectors and never entered Cuban commerce.
