| Obverse description | The obverse displays the large numeral '5' prominently in the center of a plain field, serving as the principal design element. Encircling the numeral is the legend 'CINCO CENTESIMOS DE BALBOA' arranged around the upper and lateral periphery in bold serif capitals. A row of small five-pointed stars punctuates the lower portion of the design, separating the central field from the beaded border that runs along the entire circumference. The overall composition is bold and typographic in character, with no figural imagery, consistent with the reverse type of the standard circulation issue adapted here as the sole struck face of this uniface piefort pattern. |
