The motto "EN DIOS CREEMOS" and the inscription "LIBERTAD" flank the effigy, with the mint mark "PRM" incorporated into the legend. |

| Additional information |
Puerto Rico has never held independent monetary authority, and this piece is not a government issue — it falls into the broad category of fantasy coins and medallic strikes produced for the collector market, claiming a jurisdiction that issues no currency of its own. The "Florida" designation likely references one of the historical peseta subdivisions used in Puerto Rico during the Spanish colonial period, when the island used a peso system with reales and pesetas as fractional units until American annexation in 1898 abolished them entirely.
