| Obverse description | Bare-headed portrait bust of Rafael Carrera facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and strong facial features. The engraver's signature FRENER F. appears in small incuse letters at the base of the neck truncation. A circular legend surrounds the effigy within a toothed border, reading R. CARRERA FUNDADOR DE LA Rᵃ. DE GUATEMALA, identifying the subject as founder of the Republic of Guatemala. The field is smooth and unadorned, allowing the portrait to dominate the design. |
