| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Bernardo O'Higgins, Chilean independence hero, depicted in military uniform with epaulettes and high collar, rendered in high relief in a naturalistic style. The bust occupies the central field and extends toward the lower rim, with the engraver's signature 'R. THENOT' visible in small letters at the base of the truncation. The circular legend 'REPUBLICA DE CHILE' arcs along the upper periphery, divided on either side of the portrait. The name 'BERNARDO O'HIGGINS' is inscribed to the right of the effigy in two lines. The entire design is bordered by a beaded inner rim. |

| Reverse description | The large numeral '1' dominates the central field, with the denomination inscription 'UN PESO' arranged in two lines below it and the date below that. Flanking the numeral on both sides are two pendant clusters of copihue flowers (Lapageria rosea), Chile's national flower, rendered in fine detail with drooping bell-shaped blossoms and flowing stems that arch gracefully over the top of the design. The Santiago mint mark 'S' appears in small letters above the numeral '1'. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner border that follows the coin's circumference. |
