Interesting fact
The 1 Peso coin from 1954-1958 was the first coin to feature the iconic Chilean poet and national hero, Pablo Neruda, on its obverse (front side). This was a significant departure from the traditional designs featuring political leaders or national symbols, and it marked a shift towards celebrating Chile's cultural heritage on its currency.
