Obverse description	Central device depicts five volcanic mountain peaks rising from a horizontal baseline, with radiating sun rays emanating from behind the central summit. A small sun or celestial orb appears to the left in the field. The date 1845 is inscribed in the lower field beneath the mountains, rendered in bold numerals. The design is unbordered, with the motif filling the coin's face in a compact, relief composition characteristic of early Central American republican coinage.
