| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Cuban national coat of arms at center: a shield divided into three sections, featuring a golden key between two promontories in the lower left, a rising sun over a seascape in the upper portion, and a royal palm tree at center right, all surmounted by a Phrygian cap atop a fasces. The shield is flanked by sprigs of laurel on the right and oak on the left, tied together at the base. The circumferential legend reads 'REPUBLICA DE CUBA' arcing across the upper field, with 'TRES PESOS' inscribed along the lower arc, all in raised Latin lettering. A finely toothed border frames the entire design. This piece, struck as an obverse trial, exhibits well-defined relief details consistent with a proof-like pattern striking. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of this obverse trial piece is entirely blank, presenting a flat, unworked planchet surface with no devices, legends, or design elements. The field shows tool marks and surface abrasions characteristic of an untreated trial planchet, confirming the experimental nature of this piece. The plain edge and unfinished reverse are consistent with the production of a single-die obverse trial striking intended solely to test the obverse die. |
