| Reverse description | The entire field is covered with a dense, radiating sunburst cancellation pattern composed of fine incuse strokes emanating outward from a central raised point, serving as a trial or rejection mark to render the die commercially void. No legends, devices, or inscriptions are present; the design is purely utilitarian in nature, confirming the piece's status as an officially cancelled reverse trial. |

| Additional information |
Spain's King Juan Carlos I and Queen Sofía visited Cuba in November 1999 — the first Spanish royal visit to the island since independence — a diplomatic event significant enough that Cuba issued commemorative coinage marking the occasion. This piece, struck as a reverse trial, was produced to test die alignment, metal flow, and strike quality before authorizing the final production run. Reverse trials in Cuban commemorative programs from this period rarely entered collector channels through official means.
