| Obverse description | The Bolivian national arms displayed centrally as an oval shield, depicting a mountainous landscape with a llama, a breadfruit tree, and a radiant sun in the upper portion. The shield is surmounted by a condor with wings displayed and is flanked on each side by crossed flags and weapons — including cannons, rifles, and battle axes — arranged symmetrically behind the arms. A wreath of laurel and olive branches frames the lower portion of the composition, and nine five-pointed stars are arranged in an arc along the lower field. The circular legend REPUBLICA BOLIVIANA runs along the upper periphery, and the entire design is bordered by a beaded inner rim. |

| Reverse description | The denomination 5 CENTAVOS is inscribed in two lines at the centre of the field, enclosed within a wreath composed of an olive branch on the left and an oak branch on the right, tied at the base with a ribbon bow. Below the denomination, a five-pointed star flanked by two small symbolic devices — a hand and a small torch or fasces — occupies the lower central field. The mint mark A appears at the lower left, outside the wreath, and the date 1883 is engraved along the bottom periphery below the wreath. The national motto LA UNION ES LA FUERZA curves along the upper portion of the coin within a beaded border. |
