| Obverse description | Central field bears a stylized volcano rendered in bold relief, its triangular profile dominating the design. The mint monogram 'S.S.' (for San Salvador) is placed to the left and right of the volcano in the field. The date 1828 appears in the exergue below the volcanic motif. The overall style is characteristic of provisional emergency coinage, with crudely but deliberately struck devices. |
