Reverse description Central field features a classical column or torch surmounted by a condor or eagle with outstretched wings, flanked on either side by laurel or palm branches curving upward from the base. The numeral '2' appears to the lower left of the central device, indicating the denomination of two reales, with the date '183-' (partially legible) below. The circular legend 'MONEDA PROVISIONA[L]' runs around the upper periphery in Latin characters. The overall design reflects the provisional coinage style of San Salvador, with a somewhat crude yet distinctive engraving typical of early Central American minting.
