| Additional information |
Chile's 50 Peso gold coin was struck under a monetary framework established after the 1925 currency reform, which replaced the peso moneda corriente system and created the Banco Central de Chile. Production ran sporadically across five decades, with long gaps reflecting periods when gold coinage was withheld from circulation entirely — the 1930s depression and wartime decades saw virtually no distribution into commerce. Many later dates, particularly those struck in the 1960s and early 1970s, are widely understood to be restrikes produced for the bullion and collector trade rather than monetary use.
