| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central device displays the full Chilean national coat of arms in high relief, featuring a condor on the right and a huemul deer on the left flanking a divided shield bearing a star, surmounted by three ostrich feathers. A ribbon scroll below the shield carries the motto POR LA RAZON O LA FUERZA. The denomination numeral 100 appears prominently in the lower central field, with ESCUDOS inscribed along the lower arc. The legend REPUBLICA DE CHILE runs along the upper periphery, all contained within a plain raised rim. |

This issue spans one of the most turbulent political transitions in South American history — from Allende's socialist government, which inherited the escudo, through the 1973 coup that brought Pinochet to power. The escudo itself was already in crisis before the coup; inflation had gutted its purchasing power so severely that by 1975 the denomination was effectively worthless in circulation. The monetary system was abolished entirely in 1975, replaced by the new peso at a rate of 1,000 escudos to one peso.
At 96 grams of gold, this was never a coin anyone spent.
