| Reverse description | Central device features a pillar or column surmounted by a Liberty cap, flanked on either side by the denomination indication. A circular beaded border encloses the inner design, with a continuous Latin legend distributed around the outer rim. The fineness and denomination inscription POR LA LIVERTAD SALV 10 Ds. 20 Gs. 2. R. appears around the periphery, referencing the standard of the coin and asserting El Salvador's liberty. The legend's irregular orthography is characteristic of the provisional and artisanal nature of this emergency issue. |
