| Obverse description | Bare-headed left-facing effigy of Simón Bolívar after the classic design by Désiré-Albert Barre, rendered with fine detail in the hair and facial features. The legend BOLÍVAR is inscribed to the left of the effigy and LIBERTADOR curves to the right, both running along the inner border of the beaded rim. The engraver's name BARRE appears in small capitals in the exergue beneath the truncation. The field is smooth and slightly concave, characteristic of a Proof-like pattern strike. |

| Reverse description | Bare-headed left-facing effigy of Simón Bolívar after the classic design by Désiré-Albert Barre, identical in type to the obverse die, confirming the mule nature of this pattern piece. The legend BOLÍVAR arcs to the left of the portrait and LIBERTADOR curves to the right, both set within a beaded border. The engraver's signature BARRE is incused in small capitals at the base of the truncation in the exergue. The use of matching obverse-type dies on both faces is the defining characteristic of this mule pattern. |
