| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vignette of the courtyard of the colonial Casa de los Carrera at center right, rendered in fine intaglio line work evoking the architectural character of early nineteenth-century Santiago. An excerpt from Pablo Neruda's Canto General is inscribed along the lower margin, lending a literary dimension to the historical imagery. The issuer's name and denomination are repeated in the surrounding letterpress text. |
