| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black on white paper, with the Cuban coat of arms — a shield bearing a key, striped fields, and a royal palm — displayed in a vignette at the upper left. The heading reads 'LA REPUBLICA DE CUBA' in bold letterpress across the top centre, followed by the bearer clause 'Pagará al portador' in script and the denomination 'UN PESO' in a boldly framed panel. A circular guilloche rosette at the upper right contains the numeral '1', with the series designation at the lower left and the number printed in red at the upper right. The body of the note carries a Spanish-language legal text and the year '1869' within a small red overprint seal at the lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse repeats the principal design elements of the obverse, printed in black, with the Cuban coat of arms vignette at the upper left and the bold heading 'LA REPUBLICA DE CUBA' across the top centre. The denomination panel 'UN PESO' and the guilloche numeral roundel appear as on the obverse, and the bearer clause and legal text are again present in Spanish. A manuscript date, 'Julio 10 de 1869', and what appears to be a handwritten authorising signature are inscribed in ink in the lower portion of the note. |
