Flanking the shield are two crossed war trophies consisting of a pike, a lance, and a furled banner on each side, with a war drum at the base. The peripheral legend EN UNION Y LIBERTAD arcs around the upper field, while the mint mark PTS, assayer initial J, denomination 8S, and date 1813 appear in the lower right field, all separated by dots.
