| Reverse description | Central field bears a vivid colorized depiction of a Mountain Pygmy-possum (Burramys parvus) rendered in naturalistic detail, showing the small marsupial perched atop a rocky surface against a blue sky background. The animal's grey-brown fur, dark eyes, and delicate forepaws are rendered with photographic realism within the colorized insert. The legend 'MOUNTAIN PYGMY-POSSUM' arcs along the upper periphery in bold raised Latin lettering. The binomial scientific name 'Burramys parvus' and the date '2026' are inscribed in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Chiloé has never issued its own currency. This piece is a modern fantasy strike — a privately produced novelty item assigned a fictional issuing authority. The archipelago has been Chilean territory since the 1820s and has no historical tradition of local monetary emission that this coin could plausibly commemorate.
