| Obverse description | Central to the design is a radiant sun with a human face rising above a range of five volcanic peaks, rendered in the neoclassical style characteristic of early Central American coinage. A circular legend surrounds the entire device, while the date is placed in the lower portion of the field beneath the volcanoes. The composition is bold and emblematic, reflecting the republican iconography adopted by the Federal Republic of Central America. |
