| Reverse description | The reverse displays a large numeral 5 at the center of a raised circular frame, surrounded by a wreath of laurel branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The legend CENTESIMOS arcs around the upper portion of the inner circle, separated from the numeral by a beaded ring. The wreath and border are neatly executed in a style consistent with mid-19th century South American coinage. A plain outer rim borders the entire design. |
