Obverse description	The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a shield quartered with a royal palm tree, a rising sun over a seascape, and the fasces emblem, surmounted by the Phrygian cap atop a pike and flanked on either side by a wreath of laurel and oak branches tied at the base. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcs along the upper periphery in Latin capital letters. The denomination 5 PESOS appears at the base of the coin, while the weight specification 12 G. is inscribed to the lower left and the silver fineness AG 0.999 to the lower right of the arms.

Reverse description	The central field features a naturalistic, high-relief depiction of orange blossom (Citrus sinensis) showing two open five-petalled flowers with prominent stamens and several elongated leaves rendered in fine botanical detail, with a bud visible at the lower right. The series legend FLORA CUBANA arcs along the upper periphery in Latin capital letters, while the plant's Spanish name AZAHAR curves along the lower margin. To the right of centre, the mint mark of the Casa de la Moneda de Cuba — represented by a key above a five-pointed star — appears alongside the date 1981.
