| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a shield divided into three sections: the upper portion bears a key between two promontories symbolizing Cuba's geographic position, the middle section displays the rising sun over a landscape, and the lower section shows three diagonal stripes. The shield is surmounted by a Phrygian cap on a pike and flanked by two olive branches tied at the base. The legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 1 PESO is inscribed along the lower rim, with two small five-pointed stars flanking the design at the sides. |

| Reverse description | A detailed depiction of a 19th-century steam locomotive in left-facing profile dominates the central field, rendered in fine relief with visible driving wheels, smokestack, cab, and tender, commemorating the first railway line in Cuba and the Hispanic world. The year 1989 appears above the locomotive, accompanied by a small five-pointed star. The curved legend 150 ANIV. DEL 1er FERROCARRIL HISPANO-AMERICANO arcs along the upper and right periphery. Below the locomotive, the inscription HABANA-BEJUCAL appears on the first line, followed by the dates 1837-1987 and the word CUBA in the lower field, referencing the route and anniversary of the original railway. |
