| Obverse description | Left-facing effigy of George Washington, first President of the United States (1789–1797), occupies the central field. The legend 'ISLA DE PUERTO RICO' arcs along the upper periphery, with the denomination 'UNA PESETA' and date '2009' distributed along the lower periphery. The motto 'EN DIOS CREEMOS' and the word 'LIBERTAD' appear flanking the portrait, along with the mint mark 'PRM'. The design consciously echoes the style of United States coinage while incorporating Puerto Rican inscriptions. |

| Reverse description | The municipal coat of arms of Vega Baja dominates the central field, depicting a quartered shield charged with spherical pomegranate motifs arranged in a diagonal pattern, surmounted by a mural crown with battlements. The founding year '1776' appears to the left of the shield and the ordinal number '#27' to the right, indicating Vega Baja's order of municipal foundation among Puerto Rican municipalities. The legend 'Vega Baja' arcs prominently along the upper periphery, while the civic motto 'La Ciudad del Melao Melao' curves along the lower periphery. A circular inner legend reading 'GOBIERNO MUNICIPAL DE VEGA BAJA' encircles the shield. |
