| Obverse description | Brown on orange underprint, this provisional issue carries an overprint of the new Banco Central de Chile authority over the earlier P#69 design. A seated allegorical woman with shield is positioned at right, while a second reclining female figure occupies the left vignette. The overprint text identifies the issuing bank and the dual denomination in both pesos and condores. |
