The specimen shown is a type struck in Chile 1895-97. It is the first (but not the last) reduction in size from the full-size pesos of the 1890's. The next type, issued 1902-05, was only 20 grams, .700 fine silver. A scarce 1895/4 overdate is reported. Oscar Roty's defiant condor, first used in 1895, appeared on virtually all Chilean silver and copper-nickel coins until 1940.
Recorded mintage: 6,086,000.
Specification: 20 g, 0.835 fine silver, .537 troy oz ASW, 35 mm diameter, designed by Oscar Roty.
Catalog reference: KM 152.1.
