| Obverse description | Conjoined busts of President Mariano Melgarejo and General Muñoz facing left, rendered in low relief within the field. A circular legend surrounds the effigies, with the names MELGAREJO and MUÑOZ inscribed on either side of the portraits. The design commemorates both figures as pacifiers of Bolivia, with the lettering executed in a Roman capital typeface consistent with mid-19th-century South American medallic art. |
