| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two Cuban crocodiles (Crocodylus rhombifer) are depicted in naturalistic relief dominating the central field, rendered in fine detail with scaled hides and characteristic elongated snouts. A royal palm tree rises in the upper center background between the two reptiles. A small mint mark and the date 1981 appear beneath the palm in the upper field. The curved legend FAUNA CUBANA arcs across the upper periphery, while the inscription COCODRILO is placed along the lower rim, framing the composition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cuba's wildlife commemorative program of the late 1970s and early 1980s was partly a hard-currency initiative — these coins were struck for export sale to foreign collectors rather than domestic circulation, generating convertible currency the Cuban economy badly needed. The Cuban crocodile (Crocodylus rhombifer), one of the world's most critically endangered crocodilian species, was already confined almost entirely to the Zapata Swamp by this point, its range having collapsed under decades of hunting and habitat pressure.
Collector demand for the series was modest, and unsold inventory was eventually repatriated, meaning many surviving examples show no circulation wear while still exhibiting storage marks from bulk handling.
