| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring the escutcheon with a key between two promontories and a rising sun, supported by an oak branch and laurel sprig tied with a ribbon, surmounted by the Phrygian cap on a pike. The legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcs above along the upper rim, while the denomination 10 PESOS appears below the shield. Weight and fineness designations AG 0.999 and 1 OZ are inscribed to either side of the central device. A rope border runs parallel to and just inside the milled edge, framing the entire design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar founded the first permanent Spanish settlements in Cuba beginning in 1511, establishing Baracoa and then six further villas including Havana and Santiago de Cuba. He governed the island until his death in 1524, and it was from Cuba that he organized — and then bitterly disputed — the expeditions that led to the conquest of Mexico under Cortés, a man Velázquez had initially commissioned and then tried twice to recall.
This piece belongs to Cuba's extended commemorative silver program of the late 1980s and early 1990s, issued largely for the export collector market during a period when hard currency was scarce on the island.
