| Reverse description | An armored bust of Vasco Núñez de Balboa, facing left, wearing a visored helmet and gorget, depicted in a bold, classical engraving style. The bust is set within a decorative wreath formed of tropical laurel branches, with the lower portion of the bust extending to and touching the rim. The denomination legend VN CUARTO DE BALBOA curves around the upper periphery in bold relief, completing the circular design. The overall composition reflects a neoclassical numismatic portrait tradition consistent with early twentieth-century Latin American coinage. |
