| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring the shield with a key, rising sun, and royal palm between two mountainous capes, supported by an oak branch on the left and a laurel branch on the right, surmounted by the Phrygian cap on a pole. The national legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 10 PESOS is inscribed below the arms. The coin's weight and fineness designations, 20 G and AG 0.999, appear on the left and right sides of the field respectively. |

| Additional information |
Cuba's early 1990s silver program coincided with the collapse of Soviet subsidies, which gutted the island's hard currency reserves almost overnight. These issues were minted explicitly for foreign exchange — sold abroad through state numismatic agencies to generate the dollars and deutschmarks the domestic economy desperately needed. They never circulated in Cuba.
