| Reverse description | The central vignette occupies most of the face and portrays an allegorical scene of a seated woman in classical dress attended by two young children, one kneeling before her and one seated beside her on stone steps, all rendered in blue line engraving. A circular cartouche at the upper right bears the denomination '10 CENTAVOS'. The outer border repeats the rosette and geometric guilloche ornament of the obverse, and a faint underprint of the municipal stamp is visible through the design. |
