| Obverse description | The obverse displays the original Peruvian host coin design featuring a standing allegorical figure of Liberty, helmeted and draped in classical robes, facing left and holding a spear in her right hand while resting her left arm on an oval shield. Centrally applied over the figure is the Philippine countermark: an oval punch bearing the crowned cipher of Queen Isabella II (Y·II) within a beaded border, officially validating the host coin for circulation in the Philippines. The peripheral legend reads FIRME Y FELIZ POR LA UNION, meaning 'Firm and Happy for the Union,' separated by a small dot at the base of the design. |
