Obverse description Central device depicts a condor displayed with wings spread wide, head turned to the left, rendered in fine relief against a smooth field. The bird stands with talons prominent, conveying the heraldic power of the Chilean national symbol. The circumferential legend reads 'POR LA RAZON O LA FUERZA' (By reason or by force), arcing across the upper portion of the coin. The date appears in the lower exergual area, flanked by small pellets serving as punctuation. The entire design is bordered by a toothed inner ring of dentils running close to the raised rim.

Reverse description The central field bears the two-line denomination inscription 'UN DECIMO' in bold, well-spaced capital letters, enclosed within a wreath of two laurel-olive branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. A small five-pointed star appears below the wreath at the bottom of the field. The circumferential legend 'REPUBLICA DE CHILE' arcs around the upper portion, with the Santiago mint assayer mark 'So' positioned to the right. A toothed dentil border runs along the inner edge of the raised rim, framing the entire composition.
