| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed scene commemorating the history of Cuban tobacco cultivation. At center-left, a bust of a Taino indigenous figure smoking a primitive tobacco pipe is rendered in high relief, wearing a bead necklace and displaying long hair. Above and to the right, a parrot perches on a branch, while an abstract ceramic vessel floats in the upper field. The lower portion of the design is filled with luxuriantly detailed tobacco plant leaves in full bloom. The date '1989' appears vertically along the left rim, the legend 'TABACO CUBANO' arcs along the upper periphery, and 'DESDE 1492' is inscribed along the lower margin, commemorating the year tobacco was first encountered by Europeans in Cuba. |
