| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Mariano Melgarejo facing left, with a full beard and flowing hair, occupying the central field of the coin. The effigy is rendered in moderate relief with fine detail in the hair and facial features. Surrounding the bust is the legend EL HEROE DE DICIEMBRE, reading clockwise along the upper periphery. A ring of evenly spaced five-pointed stars frames the design along the inner border, separating the legend from the milled edge. |
