Obverse description	Central field displays the early Chilean coat of arms comprising two snow-capped mountains beneath a radiant sun with a human face, flanked by two cornucopiae, the entire device enclosed within a wreath of laurel and oak branches tied at the base. The surrounding legend reads EL ESTADO D CHILE CONSTIT INDEPENDIENTE in Latin characters, distributed around the periphery. The coin is bordered by a continuous beaded inner rim. A small pellet ornament appears at the bottom of the field beneath the wreath. The design reflects the nascent republican iconography adopted by Chile following independence.
