| Obverse description | A stylized pomegranate plant occupies the central field, depicted in full with a prominent crowned fruit at the apex and spreading foliate branches below. The pomegranate, a traditional symbol of the city of Granada and carried over into Colombian colonial and early republican coinage, is rendered in low relief with a detailed latticed surface on the fruit. The date appears in large numerals in the lower portion of the field, below the stem of the plant. The coin's border is defined by a closely spaced toothed or beaded rim running the full circumference. |
