Below the image, nine five-pointed stars are arranged in a semicircle. Around the edge, the text reads from left to right: the country name in Spanish 'REPUBLICA BOLIVIANA' (Republic of Bolivia), below the Latin letters 'PTS', the inscription '1/2', the mint year '1856', the engraver's mark 'FJ', with dots between the inscriptions. The rim is decorated with decorative denticles.
