| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a shield quartered with a key, a royal palm, and alternating blue and white stripes, surmounted by a Phrygian cap on a staff and flanked by two laurel branches tied at the base. The legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 1 PESO appears in the lower field. Two five-pointed stars flank the design at the lower left and right, serving as decorative stops. |

| Additional information |
Cuba's FAO-linked commemorative program of the late 1970s and early 1980s produced a string of thematic peso issues intended partly for international distribution and hard-currency collection sales rather than domestic circulation. This piece fits squarely within that initiative, which the Cuban government used to generate foreign exchange at a time when the U.S. embargo severely constrained access to dollar markets.
Most examples found today show little to no wear — they left Havana in collector packets, not pockets.
