| Obverse description | Crude draped bust of Ferdinand VII facing right, set within a beaded inner circle. The portrait is rendered in a rudimentary provincial style characteristic of emergency Royalist coinage, with visible striations on the truncation suggesting a draped shoulder. The surrounding field is flat and unadorned, bounded by the beaded border at the coin's periphery. |

| Reverse description | Large crowned Gothic monogram of Ferdinand VII (F VII) occupying the central field, formed by two interlaced characters in a bold, angular style. Beneath the monogram appears the date 1813 in Roman numerals or Arabic numerals. The design is enclosed within a beaded border, consistent with the obverse treatment. The overall execution reflects the emergency nature of this provincial Royalist issue struck at Maracaibo. |
