| Obverse description | Central field displays the early Chilean coat of arms: a horizontally lined shield bearing a five-pointed star at center, flanked on the left by a crowned rearing horse and on the right by a crowned condor standing with wings partially open. Above the shield rises a plume of three ostrich feathers. The base of the composition features a decorative foliate scroll ornament. The entire design is set within a plain field bounded by a beaded border, with no legend present on this face. |

| Reverse description | Central field depicts an early version of the Chilean national emblem: a radiant sun with a human face rising above a mountain range, with the lower half of the design separated by a horizontal line above which waves or water are suggested. The entire central motif is encircled by a wreath of laurel and oak branches tied at the base. The circular legend EL ESTADO D CHILE CONSTIT INDEPENDIENTE runs along the upper periphery in Latin capitals. A small decorative rosette ornament appears at the base below the wreath. The field is bounded by a beaded border. |
