| Additional information |
Coquimbo operated as an emergency mint during Chile's turbulent early republican period, striking coins when Santiago's Casa de Moneda could not reliably supply the northern provinces. The 1828 date falls squarely within the political chaos following Chilean independence, when regional mints filled gaps left by institutional instability in the capital.
KM#88 pieces from Coquimbo are notably scarcer than contemporary Santiago issues — the mint's output was limited and its operation short-lived.
