Additional information

This is a pattern strike — never released for circulation — produced during a period when Cuba was actively experimenting with a new peso coinage series honoring national independence figures. Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, the sugar plantation owner who freed his slaves and launched the Ten Years' War in 1868, was a logical choice for the series. Whether cost, political prioritization, or design revision killed this particular issue is not documented in the public record.
