| Obverse description | Full-length standing figure of Caupolicán, the celebrated toqui (war chief) of the Mapuche-Araucanian people, depicted in a dynamic, slightly contrapposto pose facing left, holding a weapon in his right hand and wearing minimal traditional garments. The figure occupies the central field, rendered in bold relief against a mirror-like proof background. The circular legend 'REPUBLICA DE CHILE' arcs along the upper periphery, while the name 'CAUPOLICAN' is inscribed in the lower field beneath the figure. The engraver's initials 'F.ORE.P.' appear discreetly in the lower right field. |

| Reverse description | The Chilean national coat of arms is prominently centered in the upper field, featuring a shield charged with a five-pointed star, supported by a huemul deer on the left and a condor on the right, surmounted by a plumed crest and a scrolled banner bearing the national motto 'POR LA RAZON O LA FUERZA' (By Reason or by Force). Below the arms, the large numeral '2' dominates the lower central field, with the denomination legend 'ESCUDOS' inscribed along the lower periphery. The mint date '1971' appears to the left of the numeral, and the Santiago mint mark 'S' is positioned to its right. |
