Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Crossing of the Andes, a historic event in which a group of Chilean soldiers led by General Jose de San Martin crossed the Andes Mountains to fight for independence from Spain. The coin's design features an image of the Andes Mountains and the date of the crossing, 1817, on one side, and the Chilean coat of arms on the other.
