100 Escudos

Descrizione del dritto	An Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus) perched in three-quarter view atop a rocky crag occupies the central field, its wings partially spread and plumage rendered in fine detail. The bird's powerful talons grip the rock formation below, with stylized mountainous terrain visible in the background. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE CHILE arcs along the upper periphery, with the Santiago mint mark (So) appearing in small characters at the base of the design near the lower rim.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Issued in the immediate aftermath of Pinochet's September 1973 coup, this coin circulated under a government that had abolished the Allende-era economic apparatus but had not yet replaced the currency itself. The escudo, introduced in 1960 to replace the peso at a ratio of 1000:1, was already being consumed by inflation so acute that a 100-unit denomination in base metal was essentially worthless by the time these pieces reached circulation. Chile would abandon the escudo entirely in 1975, reintroducing the peso at 1000 escudos to one — a structural echo of the very reform that had created the escudo fifteen years earlier.
