| Reverse description | The central field displays the denomination inscription '1/8' over 'DE REAL' in bold raised lettering, with the date '1812' beneath, all arranged in three horizontal lines occupying the majority of the field. Flanking the inscriptions on both sides is an open wreath of laurel or olive branches, tied at the base, with a small bird or decorative finial visible at the apex. The design is enclosed by a continuous beaded border. The overall composition is restrained and functional, consistent with the emergency republican issues produced at the Caracas workshop during the First Venezuelan Republic. |
