The central part depicts a portion of the national coat of arms: the Cerro Rico of Potosí mountain, with the rising sun on the left, a building on the mountainside, and an alpaca facing right and a sheaf of wheat at its base. Nine five-pointed stars are arranged in a semicircle below the image. Around the edge, the text reads from left to right: the country name in Spanish 'REPUBLICA BOLIVIANA' (Bolivian Republic), below the Latin letters 'PTS', the inscription '8E' (8 scudo), the year of minting '1852', the engraver's mark 'FP', the metal fineness '21 QS', with dots between the inscriptions. The rim is decorated with decorative denticles.
Obverse
Centered is a left-facing portrait of Bolivia's first president, Simón Bolívar, wearing a laurel wreath. The person's name 'Bolivar' is in the truncation. Along the rim are inscriptions in Spanish: left and right 'LIBRE POR LA CONSTITUCION.' (Free by the Constitution). The edge of the coin features decorative raised denticles.
