| Obverse description | Printed in black and brown, the obverse presents a central vignette of a sailing vessel entering Havana harbor with the Morro Castle in the background, flanked by two seated allegorical female figures, one holding a cornucopia and the other a staff. Subsidiary vignettes include a tobacco plant, palm trees, a sugar mill with smokestacks, and cattle drawing a cart laden with sugar cane. Denomination and issuing authority inscriptions appear within ornamental letterpress panels, with the date 12 de Noviembre de 1869 rendered in manuscript. |

| Reverse description | 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. |
