| Obverse lettering | REPUBLICA DE CHILE 1851 |
| Reverse description | The denomination MEDIO CENTAVO is inscribed in two lines within the center of the field, enclosed by a wreath of two olive branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The circular legend ECONOMIA ES RIQUEZA — meaning 'Economy is Wealth' — arcs around the upper periphery, separated from the wreath by dots. The overall design conveys a utilitarian republican aesthetic consistent with mid-19th century Chilean copper coinage. |
