| Obverse description | Armored bust of Vasco Núñez de Balboa facing left, depicted in three-quarter relief within a recessed circular field. The conquistador wears articulated plate armor with a scaled gorget and is shown with a full beard and curled hair. The effigy is rendered in a high-relief sculptural style characteristic of early trial strikes, with radial die-finishing lines visible in the surrounding field. No legend or inscription appears on this obverse trial piece. |
