| Obverse description | Uniface emergency issue. Central device comprises a crudely struck escutcheon bearing a five-pointed star in relief, positioned in the upper field. Immediately below the shield, a rectangular cartouche contains the denomination numeral and abbreviation for peso. The entire design is rendered in low, unrefined relief against a plain, flat field, reflecting the exigent circumstances of its local production. |
