New 50 and 20 pesos bank notes will be put into circulation soon.
The bills are the same size as those currently in circulation and
will keep the images of Major General Calixto Garcia Iniguez on the
50 pesos note and Commandante Camilo Cienfuegos on the 20 pesos
note.
As principal security elements, both will have a watermark on the
left with the effigy of the heroine Celia Sanchez Manduley and will
have an integrated microprinted security thread running from the
upper to the lower border and the signature of the President of the
Central Bank of Cuba at the bottom.
In the center of the bill is the denomination in letters
superimposed on the numerals 50 or 20, respectively.
Among the details of identification on the front; the primary
colors, violet for the 50 and blue for the 20 and the seal of the
Central Bank of Cuba, which authenticates it.
The back of the 50 pesos has an illustration of the Genetic
Engineering and Biotechnical Center and on the 20 an illustration of
Agricultural Development.
The public and businesses should understand that the currently
circulating 20 and 50 pesos notes will continue to be legal tender
and will circulate along with the new bills until the supply is
exhausted.
