¡¡Viva Chile!! Suscrición popular para comprar una Nueva Esmeralda (Popular Subscription to Buy a New Esmeralda)
A numbered subscription ticket (no. 00021) headed '¡¡Viva Chile!!' and 'Mayo 21 de 1879' shows a three-masted steam warship above 'Suscrición popular para comprar una Nueva Esmeralda', 20 centavos, with a committee signature block and anchors and shells in the border. Transfer tell: the name of the ship lost on the printed date is attached to a small-sum appeal to the whole public.
