| Obverse description | Central device depicts a large condor with wings displayed and raised, perched in profile facing left, clutching a shield decorated with a horizontal band and oval device, rendered in high relief in the 'Pechugon' style characteristic of mid-19th century Chilean coinage. The condor's plumage is finely detailed, with prominent breast feathers emphasized in keeping with the Pechugon ('big-breasted') design tradition. The legend POR LA RAZON O LA FUERZA arcs around the upper periphery, while the date 1866 appears in the lower field flanked by two small five-pointed stars. The coin is bordered by a fine beaded inner rim. |
