| Reverse description | The reverse portrays a classical allegorical figure of Liberty seated facing left upon a rocky outcrop, draped in flowing robes, her right arm raised aloft holding a staff or column, and her left arm resting at her side. To her right stands a low pedestal or column inscribed with the word LIBERTAD. The design is rendered in a neoclassical style consistent with mid-nineteenth-century South American coinage. The arc legend FIRME Y FELIZ POR LA UNION curves along the upper periphery, while the denomination mark M. RL. appears in the lower field. |
