| Reverse description | Bare-headed right-facing bust of Simón Bolívar, the Venezuelan liberator, portrayed in military uniform with an ornately embroidered collar, rendered in high relief against a polished field. The Arabic legend سيمون بوليڤار (Simon Bolivar) curves along the upper periphery, while the Latin legend BOLIVAR is inscribed in large letters along the lower periphery. Two small raised dots appear symmetrically in the mid-field on either side of the portrait. The design is contained within a beaded border, and the overall engraving style reflects the medallic tradition of commemorative portraiture. |
