| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a shield divided into three sections: the upper portion bearing a key between two landmasses, the lower left showing a blue-and-white striped field, and the lower right displaying a royal palm beneath a rising sun. The shield is surmounted by a Phrygian cap on a pole and flanked by two laurel-and-oak branches tied at the base. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 5 PESOS appears at the base. The weight and fineness notations 12 G. and AG 0.999 are inscribed in the left and right fields respectively, all struck to proof finish on a mirror-polished field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central field features a detailed relief depiction of the Russian Imperial cruiser Aurora (Аврора), shown in a three-quarter bow view underway on stylized water, rendered with fine detail including rigging, funnels, masts, anchor chain, and deck structures. To the upper right of the vessel, the date 1987 appears alongside a small cross motif. A continuous circular legend surrounds the design, reading AURORA • 70 ANIVERSARIO DE LA GRAN REVOLUCION SOCIALISTA DE OCTUBRE, referencing the 70th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution of October 1917, the ship having fired the signal shot that commenced the uprising. The coin is struck to proof standard with a deeply mirrored background field contrasting against the frosted relief. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cuba's commemorative silver program of the 1980s was partly a hard-currency operation — these pieces were minted for export sale to foreign collectors, generating desperately needed dollars and deutschmarks at a time when the U.S. embargo had been strangling the island's access to Western currency for over two decades. The 1987 issues appeared as the Soviet subsidy propping up the Cuban economy was quietly beginning to contract, three years before the USSR's collapse would trigger the "Special Period."
The two JMA reference numbers indicate this type was issued in both proof and uncirculated finishes under separate catalog entries.
