| Obverse description | Left-facing bare-headed effigy of President Gerardo Barrios with flowing hair and prominent moustache, rendered in high relief with fine portraiture detail. The circular legend GERARDO BARRIOS PRESIDENTE runs along the periphery, divided by the portrait, with the date 1861 inscribed in the lower exergue. The field is smooth and unadorned, with a toothed border encircling the entire design. The bust is boldly modelled in a classical style befitting a presidential portrait pattern issue. |
