Obverse description Gray-green, violet-brown, and blue-gray tones over a multicolor underprint, with a portrait vignette of President José Manuel Balmaceda positioned at right. The design incorporates fine guilloche patterning across the face, with the issuing authority and denomination inscribed in the upper and lower registers. The overall composition is rendered in a classical intaglio style typical of mid-twentieth-century Chilean issues.
