| Obverse description | The bronze-plated steel centre bears the Bolivian national coat of arms in high relief, depicting an oval central shield surmounted by a condor with outstretched wings, flanked by crossed Bolivian flags and rifles with bayonets, and supported by a laurel branch at the base. The stainless steel outer ring carries the circular legend REPUBLICA DE BOLIVIA along the upper arc, with two five-pointed stars serving as punctuation at the lower field. The bimetallic construction creates a strong visual contrast between the warm-toned centre and the bright silver-coloured ring. |

| Reverse description | The bronze-plated steel centre displays the large numeral 5 prominently in the upper field, with the denomination BOLIVIANOS inscribed below in bold capital letters, and a crossed olive branch device beneath in the lower centre. The stainless steel outer ring bears the motto LA UNION ES LA FUERZA (Unity is Strength) along the upper arc, with the date appearing at the lower portion of the ring flanked by small ornamental stops. The overall design is simple and bold, optimised for ease of recognition in circulation. |
