Interesting fact
The 1 Peso coin from 1853-1862 was part of a series of coins that were minted during the period of Chile's conversion from a Spanish colony to an independent nation. The coin features the image of a condor, which is a symbol of Chile and represents freedom and independence. The condor is depicted with its wings spread wide, perched on a mountain peak, and surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. The coin's design was created by Chilean artist and engraver, José Miguel Vásquez, and it has become a beloved symbol of Chilean national identity.
