| Additional information |
Chile's 1930 coinage came at an awkward moment: the country had anchored the peso to gold in 1925 under the monetary reforms pushed through during the Ibáñez del Campo government, but by 1930 the collapse in copper and nitrate export revenues was already unraveling that arrangement. Base-metal subsidiary coinage like this piece kept circulating long after the gold standard framework that justified its fixed value had effectively collapsed.
