The first specimen was lot 12043 in Ponterio sale 169 (Baltimore, November 2012), where it sold for $1,104. The catalog description[1] noted, "CHILE. 100 Pesos, 1926-So. PCGS MS-63 Secure Holder." This one-year type was minted in Chile along with a gold twenty and fifty pesos. There is little evidence that these actually circulated (worn specimens are rare) so the attempt failed. Gold hundred pesos of a modified type (KM 175) were issued 1932 and 1946-80 but were frankly bullion coins.
Recorded mintage: 678,000.
Specification: 20.34 g, 0.900 fine gold, .589 troy oz AGW.
Catalog reference: Fr-54; KM-170.
