| Reverse description | A bare-headed, unadorned bust of Simón Bolívar faces right, rendered in finely detailed neoclassical style by engraver Désiré-Albert Barre. The hair is depicted with naturalistic flowing locks swept back from the forehead, and the truncation of the neck is cleanly cut. The legend 'BOLÍVAR' curves along the left field and 'LIBERTADOR' along the right field, flanking the portrait. The engraver's name 'BARRE' is inscribed at the base below the truncation, accompanied by mint privy marks. The entire design is encircled by a uniform beaded border. |
