A central circular vignette encloses an allegorical female figure wearing a crown and holding a child, rendered in fine intaglio line engraving consistent with American Bank Note Company production. The bank name 'BANCO DE MELIPILLA' arcs within the central design, with 'UN PESO' at the foot, and the printer's imprint repeated at lower left and right. |
