| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Type II El Salvador countermark — a bold zig-zag or serrated line mark (resembling a zipper or chevron pattern) applied by engraving to the host coin's field, used to validate the coin for circulation in El Salvador. The host coin is a Peruvian 2 Reales piece, showing a standing figure of Liberty facing front, helmeted and draped, holding a staff in the left hand and resting the right hand upon a shield inscribed with the denomination; the surrounding legend reads FIRME Y FELIZ POR LA UNION within a beaded border. |
