| Obverse description | A detailed view of the Castillo de los Tres Reyes del Morro, the historic 16th-century fortress guarding the entrance to Havana harbor, depicted rising dramatically from rocky coastal terrain above turbulent waves in the lower field. The composition is dominated by the fortress's iconic cylindrical lighthouse tower at center, rendered with fine architectural detail, flanked by the fortress walls and a small obelisk to the right. The upper field carries the curved legend 'FORTALEZAS DE LA HABANA' in decorative Gothic-style lettering, while the name 'EL MORRO' appears in matching script along the lower field. A small engraver's mark and the date '2007' appear in the lower left field. The deeply mirrored proof fields contrast sharply with the finely frosted relief of the architectural motif. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears the Cuban national arms at center, featuring the royal palm within a landscape scene surmounted by the Phrygian cap on a pole, flanked by an oak branch on the left and a laurel branch on the right, with the arms encircled by a wreath. The denomination '10 PESOS' appears in the field, along with the inscription 'REPUBLICA DE CUBA' identifying the issuing state. The design is executed in high-relief proof style against a deeply mirrored field. |
