| Reverse description | Countermark applied to the reverse field, bearing the denomination and issuing authority in four lines across the coin's surface: '8. R.' at the top, followed by the large bold initials 'V. A.' (Villa de Valdivia / Autoridad) in the centre, and the date '1822.' at the base. The lettering is large, primitive, and hand-punched in the style characteristic of Chilean provincial emergency countermarks of the early republican period. The reeded edge of the host coin remains clearly visible at the periphery. |
