| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of George Washington, first President of the United States (1789–1797), occupies the central field. The motto "EN DIOS CREEMOS" (the Spanish equivalent of "In God We Trust") and the legend "LIBERTAD" appear in the field alongside the bust. The peripheral legend reads "ISLA DE PUERTO RICO", with the face value "UNA PESETA" and the date "2009" completing the inscription. The initials "PRM" appear as a mint or issuer mark. The overall design follows the style of the U.S. Washington quarter, adapted with Spanish-language legends for Puerto Rico. |

| Additional information |
Cabo Rojo is one of a series of municipio-themed issues released by the Puerto Rico Numismatic Association beginning in the mid-2000s, produced as collector pieces with no circulation mandate. The series drew on earlier Spanish colonial coinage traditions, including the short-lived Puerto Rican peso issues of 1895–1896, struck in Madrid just years before the island transferred from Spanish to American sovereignty following the Treaty of Paris.
