A five-pointed star appears to either side of the shield in the field. The upper legend reads REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcing along the inner border, while the lower legend reads 20 PESOS. Metallic specifications 26 G. and AR. 0.925 appear to the left and right respectively along the lower periphery. The entire design is framed by a beaded border.

Reverse description	A facing bust of Antonio Maceo, the Cuban independence hero known as the Bronze Titan, is depicted in three-quarter view, showing him in military uniform adorned with stars on the collar and epaulettes, with his characteristic mustache rendered in fine relief. The legend ANTONIO MACEO arcs along the upper field, while PROTESTA DE BARAGUA curves along the lower periphery, referencing his historic 1878 protest rejecting the Zanjon Pact. The date 1977 and a small mint emblem appear to the left of the portrait in the field. Five-pointed stars flank the portrait at the mid-field left and right. The design is enclosed within a beaded border.
