| Reverse description | The reverse features a Guatemalan counterstamp of 1894, consisting of the reverse design of the Guatemalan 1/2 Real — an allegorical figure of Justice — applied upon the host coin's reverse. The host coin is a Chilean peso displaying a crowned escutcheon centered above a laurel wreath, with decorative ostrich feathers rising above the shield and the denomination inscribed at the bottom of the coin. The legend on the host coin identifies the Republic of Chile along with the mint and denomination, while the Guatemalan counterstamp legend references the Republic of Guatemala and the date of the monetary decree. The overall composition reflects the dual-authority nature of this emergency counterstamped issue. |
