Chile's Talleres de Especies Valoradas — the state security printing works established in Santiago in the late 1920s — produced this series entirely in-house, a deliberate policy shift away from the foreign contract printers, particularly the American Bank Note Company, that had dominated Chilean currency production for decades. The dual denomination structure, 100 Pesos equaling 10 Condores, reflects the short-lived Condor unit introduced under the 1925 monetary reform that created the Banco Central itself.
The Condor parity was effectively abandoned as a practical accounting unit by the late 1930s, making notes that still carry the dual designation transitional artifacts of a monetary experiment that outlasted its usefulness by only a few years.
