Cuba's International Year of Peace coinage in 1986 was part of a broader push by the Castro government to position the island as a voice for non-aligned nations and Third World solidarity during the Reagan era. Trial strikes — known in Cuban numismatic circles under the JMA reference system — were produced in alternative compositions to test die performance and striking pressure before finalizing production specifications. This brass example almost certainly precedes a silver or other precious-metal issue, brass being the standard trial medium at the Casa de la Moneda's contracted minting facilities during this period.
