| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms is centrally displayed in the field, featuring the characteristic shield with a key, rising sun, and royal palm, surmounted by a Phrygian cap and flanked by oak and laurel branches. A circular legend reading 'REPUBLICA DE CUBA' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '50 PESOS' appears in the lower field. The coin's weight specification '5 OZ' and fineness 'AG 0.999' are inscribed on either side of the central device. A rope or cable border runs close to the coin's edge, framing the entire design. |

| Reverse description | A right-facing portrait bust of Queen Isabella I of Castile dominates the central field, rendered in a formal regal style befitting the monarch's historical significance. The name 'ELISABET' appears as a legend below the portrait, while the commemorative inscription 'V CENTENARIO' arcs along the upper portion of the field, flanked by star ornaments. The dates '1990' and '1492' are positioned to the right, commemorating both the issue year and the year of Columbus's first voyage under the queen's patronage. The abbreviated legend 'HISP REG' (Hispaniarum Regina, Queen of Spain) appears in the lower right field, and a mintmark and issue identification are noted to the left of the portrait. A rope border closely follows the coin's outer edge. |
