| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a central allegorical vignette of a seated female figure representing Bolivia or Industry, resting beside mining machinery with a landscape in the background, rendered in fine intaglio engraving. The heading reads BANCO DE LA NACION BOLIVIANA in bold letters across the top, with a blue letterpress overprint reading BANCO CENTRAL DE BOLIVIA applied diagonally across the centre to indicate the provisional reissuing authority. The denomination CINCO BOLIVIANOS appears in the lower right panel within a guilloche rosette, flanked by serial number panels and the date La Paz, 11 de Mayo de 1911, with three manuscript signatures along the lower portion. |
