| Obverse description |
The central field displays the Cuban coat of arms, with the legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arched above, the fineness LEY.925 to the left, the weight 13,50 GRS to the right, and the denomination 5 PESOS below. Surrounding the central device is a circular arrangement of the national arms of the nine participating nations of the 11th Ibero-American Series — Argentina, Cuba, Ecuador, Spain, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, and Portugal — each rendered in fine detail. The composition reflects the collaborative character of the Ibero-American coinage program, with each country's heraldic arms serving as a decorative border element. |

The reverse presents a colorized panoramic view of the Valle de Viñales, a UNESCO-designated Cultural Landscape of Humanity located in western Cuba, with its characteristic mogote limestone formations rendered in the background. In the foreground, a Tocororo (Cuban Trogon, Priotelus temnurus), the Cuban national bird, is depicted in vivid applied color. The curved legend MARAVILLAS NATURALES arches across the upper field, while PAISAJE CULTURAL DE LA HUMANIDAD is inscribed along the lower arc. The place name VALLE DE VIÑALES appears prominently in the center, with the date 2017 positioned at the lower right. |
