Obverse description	Central device depicts five volcanic mountains rising from the sea, enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with radiant sunrays emanating from behind the peaks — the arms of the Federal Republic of Central America. The surrounding legend reads •REPUB•DEL CENT•DE AMER• with the date 1830 positioned at the base. The coin illustrated bears a contemporary hole pierced near the top rim, indicating post-mint mounting. The overall style is characteristic of early republican coinage produced at the Tegucigalpa mint.
