Reverse description The denomination numeral 50 is prominently displayed in the upper central field, with the word CENTAVOS inscribed below. The circular legend MONEDA PROVISIONAL arcs around the upper portion of the coin. Two sprigs, rendered in low relief, frame the lower field symmetrically, forming a wreath-like ornamental device. The overall design is simple and utilitarian, consistent with the emergency coinage character of this provisional issue.
