| Obverse description | Central device features a radiant sun with a human face rising above a range of five volcanoes, a classic Central American republican motif. The scene is enclosed within a continuous circular legend in Latin script along the periphery, with the date inscribed in the exergue or lower field. The overall design reflects the neoclassical republican style characteristic of early nineteenth-century Central American coinage. |
