The shield is flanked by laurel and oak branches tied at the base with a ribbon. The circular legend 'REPUBLICA DE CUBA' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '5 PESOS' is inscribed in the lower exergual area. |

| Additional information |
Part of Cuba's long-running "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World" gold series, this issue was produced during a period when the Cuban government was aggressively pursuing hard-currency revenue through collector coin programs — exporting numismatic products while the domestic economy remained dollarized following the 1990s Special Period crisis. The coins were never intended for internal circulation.
