| Obverse lettering | REPUBLICA DEL SALVADOR 1892 (Translation: Republic of El Salvador) |
| Reverse description | The denomination UN CENTAVO is inscribed in two lines across the central field in bold, serifed lettering. It is encircled by an open laurel wreath, tied at the base with a decorative ribbon bow. The legend AMERICA CENTRAL arcs along the upper portion of the coin, within a finely beaded border that runs the full circumference. The field is plain and unadorned, directing full attention to the denomination and wreath motif. The design is clean and typographically formal, consistent with trial and pattern issues of the era. |
