| Obverse description | The Cuban national coat of arms is centrally displayed within the field, comprising a shield partitioned into three sections: a golden key between two landmasses at the chief, horizontal blue and white stripes across the fess, and a royal palm rising before a setting sun in base. The shield is flanked by an oak branch to the dexter and a laurel branch to the sinister, bound together at the base, with a Phrygian cap surmounting a pike above. The curved legend REPUBLICA DE CUBA is inscribed along the upper periphery, while the denomination 1 PESO appears at the lower rim, each flanked by a five-pointed star. |

| Reverse description | A naturalistically rendered Cuban solenodon (Solenodon cubanus), known locally as the almiqui, is depicted in left-facing profile at the centre of the field, its characteristic elongated snout and textured fur rendered in fine relief detail. The curved legend FAUNA CUBANA arcs along the upper periphery, while the vernacular species name ALMIQUI is inscribed along the lower border. The date 1981 appears in the lower field beneath the animal. |
