| Obverse description | A crowned pomegranate in full fruit occupies the central field, depicted in low relief with a stylized crown surmounting the fruit and three spreading leaves flanking the stem at the base. The design is rendered in a primitive, hand-engraved style characteristic of early Colombian emergency coinage. The coin is framed by a plain inner border with a beaded or toothed outer rim. No legend or inscription appears on this face. |

| Reverse description | A Phrygian liberty cap, symbol of republican freedom, is depicted in bold low relief at the center of the field, rendered in a rudimentary hand-engraved style consistent with the emergency coinage of the early Colombian independence period. The denomination numerals '1' and '4' flank the cap to the left and right respectively, forming the fraction 1/4. The date '1814' is inscribed in large numerals along the lower portion of the field beneath the cap. No outer legend is present; the design is contained within a plain border. |
