| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Chilean national coat of arms at center, consisting of a divided shield supported by a huemul and a condor, surmounted by a plumed crest, all enclosed within a wreath of laurel and oak branches tied at the base. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE CHILE arcs across the upper field, while the denomination UN PESO appears in the lower field. Two small five-pointed stars flank the lower legend, and a dentilated border runs along the rim. A Guatemalan counter-stamp, bearing the national arms of Guatemala with the legend REPUBLICA DE GUATEMALA and the date 1894, has been applied to the central field of the host coin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of the Chilean host coin features a condor with wings displayed, perched atop a rocky promontory facing left and holding a shield in its talons. The circular legend POR LA RAZON O LA FUERZA arcs around the upper field, and the host date — in this example 1854 — appears in the lower exergue flanked by two five-pointed stars. A second Guatemalan counter-stamp, struck with a circular punch depicting the Guatemalan coat of arms and inscribed REPUBLICA DE GUATEMALA, is prominently applied over the central field, partially overlapping the condor device. The dentilated border of the host coin remains visible around the full circumference. |
