| Reverse description | Printed in brown on plain paper, the reverse is dominated by a central intaglio vignette of the Chilean corvette Esmeralda at anchor, rendered in fine detail with full masting and rigging. The word "Esmeralda" appears as a caption below the ship vignette. Elaborate guilloche borders surround the central panel, with "UNO" repeated vertically on both lateral margins and denomination numerals set into ornate corner pieces; the legends "EL BANCO" at top and "SANTIAGO / CHILE" at bottom complete the design, with the printer's imprint along the lower edge. |
