| Obverse description | A shield-shaped coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a five-pointed star set against a vertically lined background within a bordered escutcheon. The denomination numeral '50' appears to the left of the shield and the abbreviation 'C' to the right, flanking the device. The legend 'COPIAPO' arcs along the upper periphery and 'CHILE' along the lower, all rendered in bold block Latin lettering within a raised rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a plain, concave field devoid of ornament, with the date '1865' incused in large, bold block numerals at the center. The field is entirely unadorned save for the date, enclosed within a raised inner rim and an outer milled border, giving the reverse a deliberately austere and utilitarian appearance characteristic of emergency or locally produced municipal coinage. |
