Additional information

Cuba's 1990 gold coinage program operated under severe constraints — the Special Period had not yet officially begun, but Soviet subsidies were already contracting and hard currency was being hoarded for essential imports. Trial pieces from this run were almost certainly produced for export sale rather than domestic circulation, part of Havana's broader strategy of mining collector markets abroad to generate foreign exchange.
