| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Cuban national coat of arms at center, featuring a shield divided into three sections: the upper portion depicts a sun rising over a sea with a promontory, the lower left bears alternating blue and white diagonal stripes representing the original departments, and the lower right shows a gold key symbolizing Cuba's strategic position. The shield is surmounted by a Phrygian cap on a pike, symbolizing liberty, and flanked on either side by a wreath of laurel and oak branches. The circular legend reads REPUBLICA DE CUBA above and DOS CENTAVOS below, all within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Cuba's 1915 pattern series was produced as the government evaluated designs and specifications for a revised centavo coinage — proposals that ultimately went nowhere for several years. The KM#PnC10 designation places this among a small cluster of bronze trial pieces struck that year, most in extremely limited numbers with no surviving mint documentation on exact quantities produced.
