| Obverse description | The obverse displays the national coat of arms of El Salvador at center, featuring five volcanoes rising above the sea, surmounted by a Liberty cap radiating sunbeams, flanked by a Salvadoran flag and two rifles tied with a laurel wreath on either side of the shield. The arms are encircled by a wreath of laurel branches tied at the base with a ribbon, with crossed rifles beneath. The circular legend REPUBLICA DEL SALVADOR arcs around the upper field, while the fineness designation 900, the mint mark C.A.M., and the date 1892 appear in the lower exergual area. A fine beaded border frames the entire design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a centrally placed hand emerging from the lower field, firmly grasping a large unfurled banner or flag staff topped with a decorative finial and trailing ribbons. The flag itself billows dramatically across the field, its folds rendered in high relief. The arc legend AMERICA CENTRAL occupies the upper portion of the coin, reading from left to right, while the denomination 50 CENTAVOS curves along the lower portion. Bullet-point stops flank both legends, and the design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
