| Obverse description | Central device depicts a row of five volcanoes in profile, with a radiant rising sun emerging from behind the peaks at upper left, its rays fanning outward across the upper field. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads in Latin script, separated by bullet-point stops, identifying the issuing authority. The overall style is emblematic of the Central American republican coinage tradition of the early 19th century. |
