Chile's Talleres de Especies Valoradas — the government's own security printing facility in Santiago — produced this denomination entirely in-house, a relatively rare arrangement for a South American central bank of that period, most of which still relied on British or American contractors for high-value notes. The dual denomination designation, pairing pesos with condores, reflects the awkward transitional accounting system Chile maintained for decades before the escudo reform finally abolished the condor unit in 1960.
The series ran across twelve years without significant redesign, which is why date placement and signature combinations are the primary variables separating the scarcer early issues from the more common late ones.
