According to a posting in the webpage of the Banco Central de Cuba the image in the watermark of the banknotes of 200; 500 and 1,000 pesos will be that of the person represented in the note, instead of that of Celia Sánchez.

Thus the new identifying numbers in the MRI BANKERS’ GUIDE TO FOREIGN CURRENCY™ will be:

200 PESOS  Watermark Celia Sánchez.                    CUP200.1A

200 PESOS  Watermark Frank País.                          CUP200.1B

500 PESOS  Watermark Celia Sánchez.                     CUP500.1A

500 PESOS  Watermark Ignacio Agramonte.            CUP500.1B

1,000 PESOS  Watermark Celia Sánchez.                   CUP1,000.1A

1,000 PESOS  Watermark Julio Antonio Mella.        CUP1,000.1B

The new notes will be dated 2021, and will be released to circulation as needed. Both varieties will co-circulate.
