| Reverse description | The central device depicts a male slave breaking free from his chains, rendered in a bold, dramatic style symbolic of emancipation. Encircling the figure, the commemorative legend 100 AÑOS - ABOLICION DE LA ESCLAVITUD arcs around the upper and lateral periphery. The date of issue, 1988, appears in the lower left of the field, while the mintmark is positioned at the lower right. The centennial dates 1886-1986 are inscribed in the lower portion, flanked by decorative bullet points, referencing the hundredth anniversary of the abolition of slavery in Cuba. |

| Additional information |
Nuremberg Gold — a trade name for a low-karat copper-gold alloy developed primarily for medals and trial strikes — was occasionally used by mints testing dies before committing to full production runs. This piece was never issued for circulation or official sale, making confirmed examples genuinely scarce in any traceable form. The JMA reference places it within Cuban numismatic documentation, but the KM#N/C designation confirms it never achieved standard catalog status.
