The Martí Centenary series (1c, 25c, 50c. and 1$ originally was designed sharing same obverse (the one of 25c), but when the trials were ready, was considered boring all being the same generics, so decided to change obverse, showing details of National Symbols. In this coin, shows part of the upper field of the coat of arms, where the rising sun represents the new Republic, and the key represents Cuba (known as the key of Caribs); on the coat of arms are shown 2 land points on sides of the key; they represent the Florida and Yucatan peninsulas with Cuba between them .
