| Reverse description | Left-facing laureate bust of Simon Bolivar, depicted in classical style with bare neck and shoulders, occupying the central field. A small engraver's signature or assayer cartouche appears beneath the truncation of the bust. The curved legend LIBRE POR LA CONSTITUCION arcs around the upper and lateral fields, with BOLIVAR inscribed at the base below the portrait. The portrait exhibits fine hair detail and a restrained, neoclassical artistic treatment consistent with Bolivian silver coinage of the period. |
