| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms, depicted as a shield charged with a rising sun over a sea between two headlands, a royal palm in the lower field, and a key at the center, is superimposed upon a five-pointed star occupying the central field. A laurel and oak wreath frames the lower portion of the design. The outer legend at the top reads REPUBLICA DE CUBA, with BANCO NACIONAL DE CUBA inscribed on an inner concentric arc below. The denomination DIEZ PESOS appears in the lower field in raised lettering. The coin exhibits a deeply mirrored proof field contrasting with frosted relief. |

| Additional information |
Cuba's 1975 silver commemorative program was among the first wave of issues produced after the Banco Nacional formalized its collector coin division, targeting hard currency revenue from foreign buyers rather than domestic circulation. These pieces were never intended to pass through Cuban hands.
The JMA reference system — cataloging Cuban issues separately from KM — reflects how systematically isolated Cuban numismatics remained from mainstream Western collecting through the Cold War decades.
