The shield is surmounted by a condor with wings displayed and flanked symmetrically by crossed Bolivian flags and halberds to either side, with a fasces at each outer edge. A wreath of laurel and olive encircles the base of the arms, tied at the bottom. Nine five-pointed stars appear along the lower arc of the coin field, and the circumferential legend reads REPUBLICA BOLIVIANA, separated by the coat of arms, within a beaded border. |
