1000 Pesos 100 Condores

Chile's 1929 monetary reform replaced the Peso with the Cóndor at a rate of 10 Pesos to 1 Cóndor, which is why high-denomination notes of this transitional period carry dual face values — 1000 Pesos and 100 Cóndores are identical sums, not two separate figures. The reform was driven largely by Edwin Kemmerer, the American monetary economist whose advisory missions reshaped central banking across Latin America in the 1920s. Chile's Banco Central itself had only been established in 1925 on Kemmerer's direct recommendation.

Printed domestically by the Talleres de Especies Valoradas in Santiago, this note is among the earlier productions of that state printing works. The Cóndor as a monetary unit proved short-lived — it was effectively abandoned as Chile entered the severe economic contraction of the early 1930s.
