| Reverse description | Two Bee Hummingbirds (Mellisuga helenae), the world's smallest bird and endemic to Cuba, are depicted in flight above a flowering plant, rendered in naturalistic detail. The date 1981 appears to the left of the central motif within the field. The upper periphery bears the legend FAUNA CUBANA, identifying the commemorative series, while the lower periphery carries the species name ZUNZUN, the Cuban vernacular name for the Bee Hummingbird. The composition is framed by a plain border, consistent with the overall restrained style of the issue. |
