| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized castle (castillo) with three towers, rendered in relief, flanked on the left by the Santiago mintmark 'S' and the denomination '1/4' to the right. The date appears in the lower portion of the field below the castle. The design is contained within a plain inner border surrounded by a beaded (milled) outer rim. The overall style is characteristic of the simplified colonial macuquina-influenced coinage produced at the Santiago Mint under the reign of Carlos IV. |

| Reverse description | Central field depicts a rampant lion passant to the left (lion of León), shown in high relief with tail curled upward, rendered in a bold, simplified colonial style. The figure occupies the majority of the plain field with no surrounding legend. The design is enclosed within a plain inner border and a beaded (milled) outer rim consistent with the obverse. This heraldic lion is one of the two traditional charges of the Spanish Royal Arms, paired with the castle on the obverse. |
