| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a bold left-facing bust of Christopher Columbus (Cristóbal Colón), depicted with flowing hair and wearing a period cap, rendered in high relief against a smooth field. The legend 'CRISTÓBAL COLÓN' curves along the upper periphery, flanked by two small raised dots. The denomination 'UN PESO' is inscribed in the lower central field, with 'AMÉRICA CENTRAL' continuing the legend along the lower arc. The portrait is executed in a classical medallic style consistent with late 19th-century Central American coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
El Salvador's 1894 monetary reform was driven by the collapse of silver prices globally and pressure to align the country's currency system with regional neighbors moving toward gold or bimetallic standards. Pattern issues from this period were struck in multiple metals to test both public and governmental appetite for redesigned coinage — bronze was among the least favored, as a one-peso denomination in base metal carried obvious credibility problems for daily commerce.
