| Obverse description | The octagonal flan is divided into a grid of raised linear bars forming rectangular compartments, each containing individual letters or numerals in crude, hand-cut Latin characters. The central registers display the letters S and V above a partial date, with additional letters distributed across the surrounding compartments in a counter-matrix arrangement typical of Chipi-Chipi necessity coinage. The execution is entirely hand-engraved with no formal artistic convention, reflecting the emergency nature of the issue. The field is flat and unadorned beyond the matrix of inscribed elements. |
