| Additional information |
Cuba's 1915 pattern series was produced as the government evaluated designs and specifications for a revised centavo coinage — proposals that ultimately went nowhere for several years. The KM#PnC10 designation places this among a small cluster of bronze trial pieces struck that year, most in extremely limited numbers with no surviving mint documentation on exact quantities produced.
