| Reverse description | The reverse displays a detailed coat of arms at centre, featuring a quartered shield with heraldic devices including a castle, lion, and additional emblems, flanked by foliate supporters. The circular legend 'SESQUICENTENARIO DEL GRITO DE LARES' runs along the upper periphery, interspersed with small five-pointed stars. The lower arc carries the dates '1868-2018' along with the edition inscription '1/500 PRM', commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Grito de Lares uprising. The entire design is rendered in antique bronze-toned relief consistent with the cast technique. |

| Additional information |
Puerto Rico has no monetary authority and issues no official coinage — this piece was produced privately, its name invoking Pedro Albizu Campos, the Harvard-educated Nationalist Party leader whose imprisonment by U.S. federal authorities in 1950 following the Jayuya Uprising made him a lasting symbol of the independence movement. The "Albizu" centavo circulates within no monetary system and carries no legal tender status under any jurisdiction.
