| Obverse description | The obverse displays the local countermark of Valdivia applied to the host coin, featuring a central palm tree flanked by two five-pointed stars in the field. Below the palm tree, a rectangular cartouche contains a quadruped animal (lion or puma) to the left alongside the initials 'VA', referencing the city of Valdivia. The design is executed in a primitive, hand-punched style characteristic of early Chilean republican emergency coinage. |
