Obverse description Left-facing draped bust of Liberty wearing a laureate and floral wreath with flowing hair, occupying the central field. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE CHILE runs along the upper periphery in raised Latin characters. The truncation of the bust terminates near the lower rim, and the overall style reflects late 19th-century South American neoclassical engraving.
