2 Dollars White-tailed eagle

Chile has no native population of white-tailed eagles — the species is strictly a Palearctic bird, ranging from Iceland across Eurasia to the Pacific coast of Russia. This coin belongs to Chile's ongoing wildlife-themed bullion-adjacent series produced for the international collector market, a revenue strategy that has little to do with Chilean monetary history and everything to do with global demand for themed stainless steel issues from small-denomination foreign franchises.
