Interesting fact
This coin was designed by the famous sculptor and engraver, José de Creeft, who was known for his work on various coins and medals for different countries. The obverse of the coin features a portrait of a indigenous person, which was a departure from the traditional depiction of political leaders or national symbols on coins. This design choice was intended to highlight the cultural heritage and diversity of El Salvador.
