1 Peso 1/10 Condor

Chile's 1 Peso note of this period carried the unusual dual denomination of "1 Peso / 1/10 Condor" — a vestige of the Condor unit introduced in 1925 when Chile attempted to stabilize its currency on a gold standard. That experiment collapsed spectacularly during the Depression; by 1932, the gold standard had been abandoned entirely, making the Condor fraction printed on this note a kind of monetary ghost, still present in the typography long after the underlying standard had ceased to function.

Printed domestically by the Talleres de Especies Valoradas rather than farmed out to a European security printer — unusual for the region at the time.
