| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, displaying the traditional escutcheon with the key, rising sun, and royal palm flanked by fasces, surmounted by the Phrygian cap and framed by an oak and laurel branch. A curved legend arching above reads the country name, while the face value is inscribed below the arms. The weight and fineness designations appear in the lateral fields on either side. A rope border runs close to the coin's rim, framing the entire design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features two oval portrait medallions depicting the Pinzón brothers, Martin Alonso Pinzón and Vicente Yáñez Pinzón, captains of the Pinta and Niña respectively, with their names inscribed below each portrait. Above the medallions, a period sailing vessel evokes Columbus's 1492 expedition. The commemorative legend referencing the Fifth Centenary of the Discovery of America arches across the design, with the historic date 1492 and the issue year 1991 prominently placed at the bottom. A rope border echoing the obverse design runs close to the periphery. |
