| Obverse description | A condor with wings spread wide in full flight occupies the central field, rendered in bold relief with finely detailed feathering. The bird faces left with its beak open, conveying a sense of soaring dynamism. The legend REPUBLICA DE CHILE arcs along the lower periphery in upright Latin characters, flanking the condor on either side. A decorative dashed border runs along the inner edge of the coin, framing the design. The overall composition reflects the nationalist iconography characteristic of mid-twentieth-century Chilean coinage. |

| Reverse description | The large numeral 2 dominates the central field, rendered in bold relief and flanked on either side by a single upright wheat or laurel branch. The currency symbol Eº appears at the top of the field above the numeral, denoting the Escudo denomination. The inscription CENTESIMOS curves beneath the numeral, with the date of issue struck below it in the lower field. The mint mark So is positioned at the very bottom of the coin, just inside the decorative dashed inner border that mirrors the obverse. The design is simple and utilitarian, consistent with the standard circulation coinage of the Chilean Escudo series. |
