Trial strikes — pruebas in Cuban minting terminology — were produced at the Casa de la Moneda for internal approval before authorized issue. This particular piece never advanced to a released series, leaving the JMA reference as its only systematic documentation. The PPV designation in the JMA catalog identifies it as an unadopted pattern, distinct from officially issued proof or circulation strikes of the same period.
Leonor Molina remains a relatively obscure honoree by Cuban commemorative standards, which makes the abandonment of this issue harder to attribute with confidence — whether bureaucratic, political, or simply superseded by other priorities in Havana's 1988 minting program.
