| Reverse description | Central field displays a stylized effigy of a Moai, the iconic monolithic stone statue of Rapa Nui, shown in profile facing left and mounted on a rectangular base platform, rendered in moderate relief. To the left of the Moai, the large numeral '1' occupies the lower left field, with the denomination legend 'PESO' inscribed directly beneath it in serif capital letters. The composition balances the cultural motif against the denomination text within a plain-bordered circular flan. The design evokes the indigenous heritage of Easter Island through simplified but recognizable sculptural representation. |

| Additional information |
Rapa Nui (Easter Island) has no monetary independence from Chile — the Chilean peso circulates there as legal tender, full stop. These regional "collector" issues attributed to Chilean states or territories exist outside any official central bank mandate and are produced for the numismatic market rather than genuine circulation. Whether this piece carries any legal tender status under Chilean law is, at best, ambiguous.
