| Rückseitenbeschreibung | The reverse is unprinted and bears post-issue manuscript cancellations reading "Inutil" (Inútil, meaning "void" or "cancelled"), applied twice in large cursive script across the face of the note. A circular official cancellation stamp impressed at centre reads "300" within a legible legend, accompanied by diagonal pen-cancellation lines crossing the entire surface, consistent with standard administrative demonetisation practice of the period. |

| Anmerkungen |
The Banco Español de la Habana issued this note during one of the most turbulent periods in Cuban colonial history — the Ten Years' War had begun in October 1868, and Spanish authorities were under immediate fiscal pressure to fund military operations against the insurrection. Notes of this denomination circulated in a deeply unstable environment where public confidence in paper currency was already fragile.
The American Bank Note Company contract is worth noting: despite Spain's political control over Cuba, the colony's premier banking institution was sourcing its security printing from New York, a city that was simultaneously a hub of sympathy and material support for the Cuban independence cause.
