| Reverse description | The municipal coat of arms of Vega Alta is centrally displayed, featuring a quartered shield surmounted by a mural crown and framed by two laurel branches. The founding year "1775" appears to the left of the shield and the municipal order number "#26" to the right. The town name "Vega Alta" arcs prominently along the upper periphery, while the civic motto "Ciudad de los Maceteros" curves along the lower periphery. The proof finish renders all details in sharp relief against a mirror-like field. |

| Additional information |
Puerto Rico has never operated as an independent monetary authority — it issues no legal tender of its own. This piece is a modern fantasy or commemorative strike, produced outside any government mandate, using the "Vega Alta" municipal designation to evoke regional identity. Vega Alta is a small municipality on Puerto Rico's northern coast, historically tied to sugarcane agriculture during the island's plantation economy.
The peseta denomination itself has no modern Puerto Rican legal history; the island moved under U.S. currency jurisdiction following 1898.
