| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a shield with a key between two rocky promontories, a rising sun, and a royal palm tree, surmounted by the Phrygian cap atop a fasces and encircled by sprays of oak and laurel. The curved legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 100 PESOS is inscribed below the arms. The weight designation 1 OZ and the fineness AU 0.999 flank the central device on either side. A rope-motif border runs close to the coin's edge, framing the entire composition. |

| Reverse description | A portrait of Juan de la Cosa, the celebrated Spanish cartographer and navigator, is centered within a laurel wreath, his name inscribed on a label below the effigy. The commemorative legend V CENTENARIO, flanked by five-pointed stars, arcs along the upper portion of the field, with the issue year 1990 appearing to the right and the historical date 1492 at lower right, referring to Columbus's first voyage on which de la Cosa served. A rope-motif border encircles the entire design close to the rim, consistent with the obverse treatment. |
