The specimen shown is an example of a bi-metallic hundred pesos struck in Santiago, Chile, from 2001 onward. 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. The obverse displays a portrait of a person in the traditional dress of the Mapuche people, a term given to a grouping of different indigenous tribes occupying parts of both Chile and Argentina.
Recorded mintage: unknown but common.
Specification: 7.58 g, bi-metallic, copper-nickel center in brass ring, 23.5 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM 236.
