Obverse description	The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a shield divided into three sections: the upper portion features a rising sun over a sea passage between two headlands with a key, symbolizing Cuba's strategic position; the lower-left quarter displays blue and white diagonal stripes representing the original Cuban departments; and the lower-right quarter shows a royal palm tree against a mountain landscape. Surmounting the shield is a Phrygian cap atop a pole, symbolizing liberty, flanked by an oak branch to the left and an olive branch to the right, tied at the base. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcs across the upper field, while VEINTE PESOS is inscribed along the lower periphery, all enclosed within a finely beaded border.
