Reverse description Bare-headed left-facing portrait bust of Simón Bolívar rendered in high relief with finely detailed wavy hair and strong classical profile, occupying the central field in the manner of a medallic effigy. The legend BOLÍVAR arcs along the left periphery and LIBERTADOR along the right periphery. The engraver's name BARRE appears incuse at the base of the bust along the lower border, and the word ESSAI is inscribed to the lower left of the truncation, identifying this piece as a trial strike. The surrounding dentilated border frames the composition.
