| Reverse description | Central field bears the two-line denomination inscription MEDIO CENTAVO in serifed capital letters, enclosed within an open wreath of laurel or olive branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The circumferential legend ECONOMIA ES RIQUEZA, meaning 'Economy is Wealth,' runs along the upper and lateral periphery, separated from the wreath by raised dots. The entire design is contained within a plain linear border, reflecting the austere republican aesthetic of Chile's earliest copper coinage. |
