Reverse description The central field depicts two Araucanian native figures presenting or surrendering their weapons — including bows, arrows, and a spear — along with a rhea (South American bird), as an act of homage. A double exergual line separates the scene from the lower inscription OMNIBUS CLEMENS NAZAUAL INCIDIT. A Latin legend runs along the outer border.
