| Obverse description | Central device depicting the mountain of Cerro Rico de Potosí, with a radiant sun rising above the peak. A llama stands to the left of the mountain, and a cornucopia appears to the right, both emblematic of Bolivian national symbolism. The encircling legend reads REPUBLICA BOLIVIANA, with the denomination 2 S., date 1841, and assayer initials L.R. arranged along the lower periphery, separated by six-pointed stars. The overall composition reflects the early republican heraldic style characteristic of Andean coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Laureate bust of Simón Bolívar facing right, rendered in high relief with a laurel wreath binding his hair, tied at the nape with a ribbon. The truncation of the neck is plain and unadorned. The peripheral legend LIBRE POR LA CONSTITUCION arcs around the upper field, with the name BOLIVAR inscribed in the lower exergual area, punctuated by a dot. The portrait conveys a classical, neo-antique aesthetic consistent with the commemorative gold coinage of the early Bolivian Republic. |
