| Reverse description | Host coin reverse displaying the Bolivian national arms: a mountain landscape with a tree at center, two alpacas couchant below the tree, and six six-pointed stars arranged on a curved line above the tree. The country name appears as a curved legend along the sides and upper portion of the design, with the mint marks and denomination rendered in the lower field, and the date positioned in the exergue. The reverse retains the full design of the Bolivian host coin with no Costa Rican countermark applied to this side. |
