| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring the traditional shield with a golden key between two rocky promontories, a rising sun, and a royal palm, encircled by an oak and laurel wreath tied with a ribbon in the national colors. The legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 5 PESOS is inscribed below the arms. The weight and fineness notations 16 G. and AG 0,999 appear in the lateral fields, affirming the coin's silver content. |

| Additional information |
Issued under the UN-affiliated "Health for All by the Year 2000" initiative promoted by the WHO, this coin was part of Cuba's aggressive hard-currency collector program throughout the 1980s — a deliberate strategy to earn foreign exchange while the domestic economy ran on the peso at fixed state prices. Havana produced dozens of thematic silver issues during this decade, many in low mintages destined almost entirely for European and Latin American numismatic markets rather than any form of circulation.
