Description:
Obverse
Portrait of Bernardo O'Higgins to the right
NOTE: after 2008 there seem to be varieties concerning a lettering on the lower left shoulder parts. Before there is no lettering.
Reverse
Value within laurel wreath
NOTE: after 2008 including that year there seem to exist three different types of fonts for date lettering. First is narrow spaced with high relief lettering, second is medium spaced with high relief lettering, third is wide spaced lettering with lower relief (less bold lettering, too). These differences are best spotted in the lettering of the "0".
