The circular legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 1 PESO appears in the lower field beneath the arms. |

| Reverse description | A vibrantly colored enamel depiction of a male Wood Duck (Aix sponsa), known locally as Pato Huyuyo, is shown in left-facing profile, standing on a rocky bank against a light blue water background with green vegetation in the lower foreground. The bird's plumage is rendered in full polychrome enamel, with an iridescent green and teal crested head, red eye and bill, chestnut breast, blue and green wing panels, and golden-yellow flanks. The two-line legend FAUNA DEL CARIBE / PATO HUYUYO arcs along the upper portion of the field, with the mint mark and the date 1996 positioned to the right. |
