| Obverse description | The obverse of the host coin features a crowned head facing left, the portrait rendered in the colonial Spanish American style with a mural or turreted crown visible above.

Prominently applied over the central field is a bold incuse countermark, appearing as an ornate cipher or monogram of Republican character, deeply impressed into the silver flan. The entire design is framed by a milled border of fine radial reeding. |
