| Reverse description | Reverse of this trial strike shows the numeral 5 — the denomination digit from the regular 5 Pesos reverse die — impressed over the concentric grooved surface of the stainless steel core planchet. The concentric ring pattern of the core dominates the field, with the struck digit visible in the central area amid the ridged background. Partial lettering from the reverse legend is discernible near the periphery, consistent with the Casa de Moneda de Chile institutional inscription. The overall surface demonstrates the characteristic double-layer effect of a trial strike over a pre-milled planchet, documenting an experimental production stage at the Santiago mint. |
