10 Condores Robinson Crusoe

Robinson Crusoe Island — officially renamed from Más a Tierra by Chilean decree in 1966 specifically to boost tourism — is the island where Alexander Selkirk was marooned from 1704 to 1709, directly inspiring Defoe's novel. Chile's series of territorial and thematic commemoratives from this period used the 10 Condores denomination for subjects outside mainstream circulation coinage, giving collectors regionally specific issues that rarely turn up in everyday commerce.
