| Reverse description | A bold depiction of Cerro Rico, the famous mountain of Potosí, rises prominently at center in the field. A llama stands to the left of the mountain's base, while a sheaf of grain appears to the right, together symbolizing Bolivia's natural and agricultural wealth. Nine five-pointed stars are arranged in an arc above the mountain, framing the design. The date 1852 is inscribed in the lower exergue beneath the mountain. A finely executed beaded border encircles the entire reverse design. |
