| Obverse description | Central numeral '19' within a radiant sunburst of sixteen alternating long and short rays, symbolizing the date of the Venezuelan declaration of independence on 19 April 1810. The design is set against a plain field, with the rays extending nearly to the beaded border that encircles the entire composition. The overall style is simple and emblematic, consistent with early republican coinage produced under wartime conditions. |
