Chile 1961 centesimo rev DSLR.jpg

The specimen shown is an example of a type struck in Santiago, Chile, in 1960-63. In 1960, the peso was dropped in favor of the escudo, with 1 escudo = 1000 pesos. This coin replaced the aluminum ten pesos of the late fifties. The escudo itself was abandoned in 1975 for a return to the peso, with one new peso = 100 escudos.

Recorded mintage: 20,160,000 for 1960-61.

Specification: aluminum, plain edge.

Catalog reference: KM 189.
