| Obverse description | A condor with wings spread wide occupies the central field, facing left with its head turned to display a wattled neck; the bird clutches a serpent in its talons, a design emblematic of Chilean republican iconography. The condor is rendered in high relief with finely engraved feather detail throughout the wings and body. The peripheral legend POR LA RAZON Y LA FUERZA arcs around the upper portion of the coin, separated from the field by a toothed or beaded inner border. At the base of the design, the fineness and weight indicators 10 D.s 20 G.s are inscribed, denoting 10 dineros 20 granos of silver fineness. The entire design is framed by a prominent milled or dentilated rim. |
