| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of George Washington, first President of the United States (1789–1797), occupies the central field. The national motto "EN DIOS CREEMOS" (In God We Trust) appears in the field alongside the legend "LIBERTAD", with the issuer inscription "ISLA DE PUERTO RICO" and the face value "UNA PESETA" surrounding the effigy. The mint mark "PRM" and date "2009" complete the design. The overall composition references the style of the United States quarter dollar but adapted for Puerto Rican fantasy coinage. |

| Additional information |
Orocovis is a municipality in the mountainous Cordillera Central, historically one of the most isolated communities on the island — road access remained genuinely difficult well into the twentieth century. Puerto Rico's municipal peseta series, revived as a commemorative program in the early 2000s, drew on the pre-1898 Spanish colonial coinage tradition, when the peseta circulated as a real denomination before U.S. annexation abruptly replaced the peso system with dollars.
