| Reverse description | Central effigy of Filiberto Ojeda Ríos presented as a front-facing portrait bust, rendered in high relief with frosted finish against a mirror field. To the left of the portrait, a machete is depicted in the field, serving as a symbolic device associated with the Macheteros movement. To the right, a small outline map of Puerto Rico appears in the lower field. A quotation attributed to RPR is inscribed to the right of the portrait: "Con tu muerte somos más grandes más libres." The name FILIBERTO OJEDA RÍOS arcs along the upper border, with his birth and death dates (Abril 26, 1933 – Septiembre 23, 2005) inscribed along the left and right rims respectively, and the denomination UN ALBIZU displayed prominently along the lower border between four decorative star devices. |

Pedro Albizu Campos, the Harvard-educated lawyer who led the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party, spent roughly 25 of his final years imprisoned or under federal surveillance — much of that time in Atlanta Federal Penitentiary and later La Princesa in San Juan. This piece was issued the same year Puerto Rico's legislature passed Resolution 894, formally recognizing his contributions to the independence movement, a politically contentious act given the island's ongoing territorial status under U.S. jurisdiction.
