| Obverse description | Bare-headed left-facing bust of President Mariano Melgarejo occupies the central field, rendered in moderate relief with notable detail in the beard and facial features. The portrait is unadorned and civilian in character, consistent with the political commemorative nature of the issue. The encircling legend reads VIVA EL PRESIDENTE MELGAREJO, disposed around the periphery in Latin characters. The coin exhibits a reeded border running along the inner edge of the rim. No mintmark or date appears on this face. |
