| Obverse lettering | REPUBLICA DE CHILE ·1853· |
| Reverse description | The denomination UN CENTAVO is inscribed in two lines across the central field, enclosed within an open laurel wreath tied at the base with a ribbon bow, below which a small six-pointed star appears as a mint emblem. The peripheral legend ECONOMIA ES RIQUEZA — meaning 'Economy is Wealth' — curves continuously around the full circumference in raised Latin capitals, serving as a moral motto. A dentilated border frames the entire reverse design, consistent with the obverse treatment. The wreath, rendered with naturalistic leaf detail, imparts a classical republican character to the composition. |
