The specimen shown is an example of a type struck in Santiago, Chile, since 1993. In 1960, the peso was dropped in favor of the escudo, with 1 escudo = 1000 pesos. The escudo itself was abandoned in 1975 for a return to the peso, with 1 new peso = 100 escudos. This design replaced a slightly different version of 1990-92 (KM 229) which was round. The effigy of Bernardo O'Higgins, hero of the struggle for independence, was first used on copper pesos of the 1940's. 2013 is the most recent date in the SCWC but Numista shows a 2015. As of February 2025, US$1 = 942 pesos, rendering this coin worthless.
Recorded mintage: 88,000,000, common in all grades.
Specification: 2.16 g, Aluminum-Bronze, 16.02 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM 232.
