| Obverse description | A standing allegorical female figure representing the Filipino people is depicted in left profile, her right hand striking a hammer upon an anvil, symbolizing industry and labor. Behind her to the right rises a smoking volcano, representing the active natural landscape of the Philippine archipelago. The legend ONE PESO arcs along the upper field, with FILIPINAS inscribed below, flanking the central device. The design, engraved by Melecio Figueroa, reflects a confident colonial-era allegorical style combining classical composition with local symbolism. |

| Reverse description | A heraldic American bald eagle with wings displayed and elevated is depicted at center, perched upon a shield bearing the arms of the United States — vertical stripes in the lower half and a horizontal band of thirteen stars in the upper chief. The eagle clutches an olive branch in its right talon and a bundle of arrows in its left, consistent with the Great Seal of the United States. The circumferential legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcs around the upper and lateral fields, with the date flanked by two raised dots positioned in the lower exergual area. A beaded border frames the entire reverse design. |
