| 裏面の説明 | A line-engraved vignette of Castillo de La Chorrera, Havana, occupies the central field, the 17th-century coastal fortification rendered in fine intaglio line work with waterway in the foreground and foliage to the left. The inscription 'CASTILLO DE LA CHORRERA, CIUDAD DE LA HABANA, 1646' appears above the vignette. The denomination 'CINCUENTA PESOS' is lettered along both the upper and lower borders, with the numeral '50' at lower right, all set against a green guilloche underprint. |

Cuba's Foreign Exchange Certificate series — introduced in the 1980s to capture hard currency from tourists and Cubans receiving remittances — operated as a parallel monetary system designed to wall off dollar-equivalent purchasing power from the peso economy. The 'B' series was specifically designated for use by foreign visitors, while a separate 'A' series circulated among Cuban nationals entitled to foreign exchange. The distinction mattered: each series was redeemable only in its corresponding network of dollar stores.
Státní Tiskárna Cenin, the Czechoslovak state security printer, produced the series — a logical choice given Cuba's close economic ties with COMECON partners throughout the period.
