Reverse

In the central part, there is a tree; at its base, two alpacas are depicted lying facing each other. Above the crown, six six-pointed stars are arranged in a semicircle. Along the edge of the coin, the text reads from left to right: the country name in Spanish 'REPUBLICA BOLIVIANA' (Republic of Bolivia), below the Latin letters 'PTS', the inscription '8S' (8 sueldos), the mint year '1838', the engraver's mark 'LM', with dots between the inscriptions. A rope pattern runs along the curved edge of the coin.

Obverse

In the center, there is a right-facing portrait of Bolivia's first president, Simón Bolívar, in uniform, wearing a laurel wreath on his head. Below the truncation is the person's name 'Bolivar'. To the left and right along the edge is the text in Spanish 'LIBRE POR LA CONSTITUCION.' (Free by the constitution). A raised rope pattern runs along the edge of the coin.
