10 Condores Alejandro Selkirk

Alejandro Selkirk is the smaller and far less visited of Chile's two inhabited Juan Fernández islands, named directly for the Scottish castaway Alexander Selkirk, who was marooned on the larger neighboring island — Más a Tierra, now renamed Robinson Crusoe — from 1704 to 1709. His survival there became the principal source material for Defoe's novel. Chile's 2014 bimetallic territorial series used the condor denomination, a unit that had been officially dormant since the mid-twentieth century, specifically reactivated for these collector-oriented circulation pieces honoring Chilean special territories.
