| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms is centrally displayed in the field, featuring the traditional shield with a key, rising sun, and royal palm, supported by an oak branch and laurel wreath. The national legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 50 PESOS is inscribed along the lower border. The coin's fineness and weight, AG 0.999 and 5 OZ, appear on either side of the arms in the field. The design follows the standard Cuban commemorative obverse type established for five-ounce silver issues. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a colorized naturalistic scene depicting a group of Caribbean flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber) wading in shallow water, rendered in vivid pink and white tones against a naturalistic background. The curved legend FAUNA DEL CARIBE arcs along the upper periphery, with FLAMENCOS continuing along the lower portion of the design. The date 1994 and mintmark appear to the right within the composition. The colorization technique enhances the lifelike quality of the flamingos' plumage, making this a visually striking example of late 20th-century Cuban commemorative coinage. |
