The specimen shown is an example of a type struck for Chile since 1990. This date bears the maple leaf trademark of the Ottawa mint. 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 effigy of Bernardo O'Higgins, hero of the struggle for independence, was first used on copper pesos of the 1940's. This design may still be in production; 2013 is the most recent date in the SCWC but Numista shows a 2023. We doubt it still circulates; as of October 2024, ten Chilean pesos = 1.07 cents.

Recorded mintage: 255,000,000.

Specification: 3.5 g, nickel-brass, 21 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 228.2.
