| Obverse description | The national arms of Bolivia occupy the central field, featuring the shield with its customary emblems flanked by Bolivian flags and laurel branches at the base. A continuous circular legend surrounds the arms, incorporating the official state designation adopted under the 2009 constitution. A single star appears at the base of the legend, below the arms. The design reflects the constitutional renaming of the country to the Plurinational State of Bolivia. |

| Reverse description | The numeral denomination is rendered prominently within a central field enclosed by an inner rope circle. The patriotic national motto is inscribed in the annular band between the inner rope circle and an outer beaded border, reading continuously around the periphery. The coin's face value in words appears alongside the numeral, and the date of issue is positioned in the lower portion of the reverse, separated by a raised dot. The overall design is clean and unadorned, consistent with a modern circulation issue. |

| Additional information |
Bolivia's shift to copper-clad steel for this denomination in 2010 was part of a broader regional response to rising raw material costs that had made the metal content of small-circulation coins approach or exceed their face value — a problem that had already pushed neighbors like Argentina and Brazil into similar alloy substitutions years earlier.
