| Obverse description | Central design features a stylized breadfruit or ceibo tree rising from a mountainous landscape flanked by two llamas facing outward, rendered in relief against a plain field. Nine six-pointed stars are arranged in an arc above the central device, forming a semicircular border. The circumferential legend reads REPUBLICA BOLIVIANA, with the denomination, mint mark, date, and assayer initials inscribed along the lower periphery. The coin exhibits a reeded border and the design is executed in the neoclassical republican style characteristic of early Bolivian coinage. |

| Reverse description | Left-facing draped bust of Simón Bolívar, depicted in military uniform with epaulettes and a high collar, occupying the central field in a bold, portrait style. The legend LIBRE POR LA CONSTITUCION encircles the upper portion of the coin, while the name BOLIVAR appears in the lower exergual area beneath the portrait. The engraving reflects the heroic republican portraiture typical of newly independent South American nations in the 1820s, with strong relief and relatively fine detail in the facial features and uniform. |
