| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed relief of a manjuari (Cuban gar, Atractosteus tristoechus), a prehistoric freshwater fish endemic to Cuba, depicted in left profile amid stylized water-line engravings and aquatic vegetation rendered on either side of the field. The mint mark — a key and star device — appears above the date 1981, which is engraved centrally in the upper field below the mint mark. The legend FAUNA CUBANA curves along the upper periphery, while the species name MANJUARI is inscribed in bold lettering along the lower periphery. |
