Below the numeral, the legend 'DIEZ CENTAVOS' is inscribed in evenly spaced capital letters across the lower field. The design is stark and functional, with a plain flat field and no additional ornamentation, emphasizing clarity of denomination for use in tourist transactions. |

| Additional information |
Cuba's INTUR coinage was a parallel currency system allowing the state to capture hard currency from foreign tourists while keeping peso-denominated goods inaccessible to them — and vice versa. These aluminum pieces circulated exclusively within tourist facilities: hotels, dollar shops, and Cubatur-managed resorts. The 1988 date places this issue in the late Special Period run-up, just before Soviet subsidies collapsed and the entire dual-currency apparatus was forced into a far more aggressive redesign.
