| Reverse description | The central field displays the coat of arms of San Juan, featuring a lamb passant bearing a flag and cross on a rocky island above stylized waves, enclosed within a baroque-style shield. A mural crown with battlements surmounts the shield, referencing the city's fortified colonial heritage. The legend "San Juan" arcs prominently across the upper field, while the founding date "1521" appears to the lower left and the serial number "#01" to the lower right. The curved inscription "Ciudad Capital de Puerto Rico" runs along the lower periphery. A circular band surrounding the shield bears the city's motto in Latin script. |

| Additional information |
Puerto Rico has no independent monetary authority and issues no official coinage — this piece was produced by a private mint as a medallion or fantasy issue, trading on regional identity rather than any governmental mandate. The "San Juan" designation refers to the capital, founded by the Spanish in 1521 as one of the oldest European-established cities in the Americas.
