Interesting fact
This coin was designed by the Chilean artist and sculptor, Luis Guzmán, and it features a unique and intricate pattern on its reverse side. The pattern depicts a stylized representation of the Andean condor, a symbol of Chile and its rich cultural heritage. The condor is shown with its wings spread wide, surrounded by a series of circles and lines that give the impression of movement and dynamism. The pattern is said to have been inspired by the traditional textiles and crafts of the indigenous peoples of Chile, and it adds a unique touch to the coin's design.
