50 Pesos

Chile's 50 peso coin has been struck continuously since the return to democratic governance began accelerating in the mid-1980s, surviving the full arc of the Pinochet transition, the 1988 plebiscite, and every administration since. That kind of uninterrupted production across four decades and multiple constitutional changes is genuinely unusual for a Latin American denomination.

The KM#219.1 and 219.2 variants reflect die modifications introduced at the Casa de Moneda in Santiago, likely tied to production equipment updates rather than any policy change.
