| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of President Rafael Carrera facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and side-whiskers, occupying the central field. A circular legend reading RAFAEL CARRERA PTE. DE LA RA. DE GUATEMALA runs around the periphery between an inner border and an outer toothed rim. The engraver's signature FRENER F. appears in small capitals at the base of the truncation, attributing the portrait to die-sinker Johann-Baptist Frener. |
