1 Peso Pechugon style Pattern

Beschrijving voorzijde	Central device depicts a large condor with wings displayed and raised, perched in profile facing left, clutching a shield decorated with a horizontal band and oval device, rendered in high relief in the 'Pechugon' style characteristic of mid-19th century Chilean coinage. The condor's plumage is finely detailed, with prominent breast feathers emphasized in keeping with the Pechugon ('big-breasted') design tradition. The legend POR LA RAZON O LA FUERZA arcs around the upper periphery, while the date 1866 appears in the lower field flanked by two small five-pointed stars. The coin is bordered by a fine beaded inner rim.

Aanvullende informatie	The "Pechugón" nickname — roughly translating to "big-breasted" in Chilean slang — was applied to this pattern by mint workers who found the allegorical figure's pose unusually forward-leaning. The design was submitted for consideration as Chile's new peso type in 1866 but rejected before reaching circulation, making survivors purely the product of official pattern strikes rather than any production run. KM#PnA11 is documented in extremely limited numbers.
