| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a shield quartered with a key between two promontories, a rising sun above mountains, and a royal palm tree, surmounted by a Phrygian cap on a pike with a star, and flanked by an oak branch to the left and a laurel branch to the right. The legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering, while the denomination 10 PESOS appears in the lower field beneath the arms. The design is rendered with fine detail against a deeply mirrored proof field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic scene commemorating the 400th anniversary of Cervantes' Don Quixote, depicting the knight Don Quixote mounted on his horse Rocinante, lance raised as he charges toward a pair of windmills rendered in the upper left field, symbolizing his famous tilting at windmills. His squire Sancho Panza follows on a small donkey to the left, portrayed in a stocky, contrasting figure. The legend 400 ANOS DEL QUIJOTE arcs along the upper periphery, and the mint mark with the date 2005 appears to the right in the field. |
