| Obverse description | Left-facing bust of Francisco Morazán, the Central American statesman, rendered in high relief with curly hair and period attire including a coat and bow tie. The circumferential legend REPUBLICA DE EL SALVADOR arcs along the upper rim, while the date 1953 appears in the lower exergue beneath the portrait. The field is flat and unadorned, allowing the portrait to dominate the design. The engraving, executed by Gilroy Roberts of the Philadelphia Mint, displays fine detail in the facial features and hair. |
