Obverse description Bare-headed bust of Simón Bolívar facing right, rendered in high relief with fine detailing of his military uniform collar and epaulette at the truncation. An ornamental device, possibly a torch or branch, appears to the upper right of the effigy in the field. The peripheral legend in Arabic script curves along the upper portion of the coin, while the Latin inscription BOLIVAR arcs prominently across the lower field beneath the portrait. The entire design is contained within a beaded inner border.

Reverse description Entirely plain, uniface reverse field with no design elements, serving as a trial reverse. At the lower portion of the flat field, a small rectangular cartouche bears the abbreviation MET., followed by the incuse mint signature GORI & ZUCCHI identifying the Italian manufacturer. The absence of any struck design confirms the trial or essai nature of this piece, with the field showing the characteristic surface of an unfinished or deliberately blank die.
