| Reverse description | The Chilean national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a shield divided per pale with a five-pointed star at center, flanked by a rearing horse to the left and a standing condor to the right, with the Andes and sea in the background. The denomination appears in three formats surrounding the arms: CINCUENTA PESOS along the upper legend, 50 Ps to the lower left, and CINCO CONDORES along the lower periphery. The mint mark So appears to the lower right. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

| 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.
