Obverse description The obverse depicts an allegorical female figure in high relief, helmeted and robed in the manner of Minerva, seated centrally and raising a torch aloft with her left arm while cradling two flagpoles with draped flags in her right arm. To her left, a condor — Chile's national emblem — is shown in profile holding an olive branch in its beak, while to the right a mountain peak with buildings at its base, referencing Bolivia's Andean landscape, occupies the background. The engraver's signature 'Gino Córdova' appears in small lettering in the lower exergue.

Reverse description The reverse displays the coat of arms of Chile on the left — a quartered shield bearing a five-pointed star with a plumed crest above — and the coat of arms of Bolivia on the right, depicted as an oval cartouche featuring an alpaca, a sheaf of wheat, and a mountain with a rising sun. Between the two armorials, a caduceus flanked by two olive branches serves as the central device symbolising peace and commerce. A circular legend in raised relief borders the design.
