| Reverse description | A royal crown is depicted in the upper field above the fractional denomination, flanked by a castle to the left and a sword with a pyramid of cannon balls to the right, with the date inscribed in the lower field. The composition references the civic arms of Santa Marta and serves as a bold declaration of local authority during the independence period. The layout is compact and centrally arranged, consistent with the improvised nature of this emergency issue. No outer legend is present, the design relying entirely on symbolic devices and numerals to convey value and date. |
