| Obverse description | Central field depicts a large pomegranate tree with spreading branches bearing fruit, rendered in a crude but expressive hammered style characteristic of early republican colonial coinage. A horse or deer is visible to the left of the tree trunk, while a small structure resembling a building or hut appears to the lower right. The composition is framed by a beaded border, and the overall design reflects the rustic engraving techniques employed at the Cartagena mint during the independence period. No legend appears on this face, the imagery alone serving as the principal device. |
