| Reverse description | The municipal coat of arms of Orocovis is prominently displayed in the central field, featuring a quartered oval shield with imagery representing local landscape elements including mountains, a sun, and water, surmounted by a mural crown with battlements. Flanking the shield are two symmetrical laurel or oak branches. The municipality name "Orocovis" arcs across the upper legend, while the foundation year "1825" appears to the lower left and the municipal order number "#54" to the lower right of the shield. The curved inscription "Corazón de Puerto Rico" (Heart of Puerto Rico) runs along the lower rim, serving as the municipal motto. |

| Additional information |
Orocovis is a municipality in the mountainous Cordillera Central, historically one of the most isolated communities on the island — road access remained genuinely difficult well into the twentieth century. Puerto Rico's municipal peseta series, revived as a commemorative program in the early 2000s, drew on the pre-1898 Spanish colonial coinage tradition, when the peseta circulated as a real denomination before U.S. annexation abruptly replaced the peso system with dollars.
