The specimen shown is an example of a bi-metallic 100 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. 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, 100 Chilean pesos = 10.7 cents.
Recorded mintage: 35,000,000.
Specification: 7.53 g, bi-metallic, copper-nickel center in brass ring, 23.5 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM 236.
