| Obverse description | Central field features the name POPPER in bold raised letters set against a stippled or granular background representing mineral-bearing soil, evoking the gold-mining context of Tierra del Fuego. The surrounding legend reads TIERRA DEL FUEGO POPPER * 1889 *, arranged along the coin's periphery in Latin script. The overall design is utilitarian in character, reflecting its origin as a private token issued for mining camp use. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts a stylized gold nugget or mineral specimen set against a finely granulated background, rendered in low relief. The circular legend EL PARAMO * UN GRAMO * surrounds the central device along the coin's periphery in Latin script, identifying both the place name and the denomination. The design is simple and functional, consistent with the token's role as a private mining currency issued by Jules Popper's concession in Tierra del Fuego. |
