Where & when
What's on the note
Front: The Monumento a Antonio Maceo in Havana, a memorial to Antonio Maceo Grajales (1845–1896), one of the most prominent Cuban independence leaders and military strategists during the Ten Years' War and the War of Independence. The monument honours his role in the Protesta de Baraguá (Baraguá Protest) of March 15, 1878, when Maceo refused to accept the Pact of Zanjón that ended the Ten Years' War without achieving Cuban independence. The note prominently features 'pesos convertibles', indicating this is a Cuban Convertible Peso (CUC) note from the dual-currency system that operated 1994–2021.
Back: The Protesta de Baraguá (Baraguá Protest) scene depicting Antonio Maceo and independence fighters refusing the Pact of Zanjón in 1878. This historical episode represents Cuban revolutionary determination and Maceo's uncompromising stance on independence from Spain. The scene shows Maceo with armed insurgents and the Cuban flag, symbolizing continued resistance. The text 'PROTESTA DE BARAGUA' explicitly identifies the subject.

Background & history
🎉 Commemorating Protesta de Baraguá (Baraguá Protest of 1878).
This note belongs to the Cuban Convertible Peso (CUC) series introduced in 2013. The CUC was part of Cuba's dual-currency system (1994–2021), initially pegged 1:1 to the US dollar and used alongside the Cuban Peso (CUP). The convertible peso was gradually withdrawn starting in 2020 and fully demonetized by 2021 as Cuba moved to currency unification. The 5 CUC denomination honors Antonio Maceo and the Protesta de Baraguá, a pivotal moment in Cuban independence history. The series features revolutionary and independence heroes, consistent with Cuban numismatic tradition of commemorating national liberation struggles.
