| Descrição do reverso |
The reverse presents a standing allegorical figure of Justice or Liberty, helmeted and draped in classical robes, facing slightly left. She rests her left arm upon a fasces or rectangular pedestal at her left side, while a shield leans against the base to her right, and a cornucopia or sheaf of wheat lies at her feet. The legend IGUALDAD ANTE LA LEI arcs around the upper periphery, with small five-pointed stars serving as stops at the lower left and lower right of the field. The denomination 5 Ps. appears in the lower exergue. |

Chile's gold 5 Pesos of this period was struck under the monetary reform law of 1851, which formally decimalized the Chilean currency system and replaced the old real-based coinage. The Casa de Moneda in Santiago had been producing gold for decades by this point, largely on the back of Chilean and Peruvian mining output, but the new decimal denominations required entirely fresh dies and a recalibrated weight standard aligned to the new system.
Production across the three-year run was limited, and survivors in collectible condition are genuinely scarce. The 1851 date is the most frequently encountered of the three.
