| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring the traditional shield with a key, royal palm, and rising sun, flanked by an oak branch and laurel wreath. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 50 PESOS is inscribed below the arms. The weight designation 5 OZ and fineness AG 0.999 appear on the respective sides of the field, confirming the coin's five-troy-ounce fine silver content. The design follows the same compositional arrangement as KM#593, differentiated by the revised face value and weight inscriptions. |

| Reverse description | The central field depicts an artistic rendering of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, shown as terraced garden structures with lush vegetation cascading from elevated platforms. A circular legend frames the design close to the rim, with the series title MARAVILLAS DEL MUNDO ANTIGUO arcing along the upper border and the specific subject JARDINES COLGANTES DE BABILONIA inscribed along the lower border, separated by decorative stars. The date 1997 and the mint mark appear to the right of the central motif. The engraving is executed in fine relief against a polished proof field. |
