**About this banknote**
The banknote was issued by El Banco Español de la Habana in 1883. This series was introduced to facilitate smaller transactions in the Cuban economy during a period of Spanish colonial rule. The banknotes were part of Cuba's colonial monetary system, managed by the Spanish authorities to support local commerce.
The front side of this 5 centavos note features the crowned coat of arms with two globes. The inscriptions highlight its value and the issuing bank's name. On the back, a central motif of a seated female figure holding a cornucopia and flowers is depicted. Printed by the Compañía Nacional de Billetes de Banco, New York, it is marked in black and green colors.
