Obverse of the fifty-peso silver certificate
Reverse of the fifty-peso silver certificate
Silver certificates were issued by the Republic of Cuba between 1934 and 1949. Prior and subsequent issues of Cuban banknotes were engraved and printed by non-governmental private banknote companies in the United States, but the series from 1934 to 1949 was designed, engraved, and printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing of the U.S. government.

This is a certified proof of a fifty-peso silver certificate, prepared in 1936. The obverse depicts Cuban general Calixto García, with the engraved signatures of Ricardo Ponce (Secretary of the Treasury) and José Agripino Barnet (President of the Republic). The reverse, printed in light orange, bears the Cuban coat of arms. This proof is part of the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.
