| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring the characteristic shield with a key, rising sun, and royal palm, flanked by an oak branch and laurel sprig, surmounted by the Phrygian cap on a pole. The legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 10 PESOS is inscribed below the shield. The weight designation 1 OZ appears to the left of the arms and the fineness AG 0.999 to the right, confirming the coin's one troy ounce fine silver content. |

| Additional information |
The Manifesto of Montecristi was signed by José Martí and Máximo Gómez in the Dominican Republic on March 25, 1895 — just weeks before both men landed in Cuba to launch the final war of independence against Spain. Martí was dead within two months of signing it. The document laid out the moral and political conditions under which the war would be fought, explicitly rejecting racial division and personal vendettas in favor of a disciplined, unified campaign.
This issue appeared as Cuba marked the centennial of that 1895 campaign, part of a broader commemorative program from the Casa de Moneda de Cuba during the Special Period.
