| Reverse description | The reverse die is completely blank, presenting an entirely unadorned, smooth field with no design elements, legends, or inscriptions of any kind. This plain surface is consistent with the piece's status as a reverse trial strike, produced to test the obverse die impression and planchet characteristics without committing to a finished reverse design. |

Cuba's 3 Peso gold denominations from this period were produced primarily for the international collector market, as the country's hard currency crisis under the Special Period — triggered by the Soviet Union's collapse — made domestic circulation of gold coinage economically untenable. A reverse trial of this issue indicates die or design testing prior to final production approval, a step more commonly documented in socialist-bloc mints where centralized approval chains added bureaucratic stages to the striking process.
