Chilean 100 Pesos Gold Coins
Brief Chilean History
Chile occupies the west coast of the southern part of South America. The Spanish explorer Diego de Almargo attempted to take Chile from the native Incas and Araucanian tribes in 1536. Although he failed, a second Spaniard Pedro de Valdivia succeeded and founded Santiago the capital in 1541. Chile formed its own national government in 1810, and full independence was secured by 1818. Chile has since had an interesting monetary history with long periods of high inflation mixed with a few periods of stability.Chilean Gold Coins
One of Spain's main priorities in conquering much of South America was to acquire gold. Chile therefore has produced a variety of gold coins for a long period of time, and makes an interesting subject for the collector of gold coins.100 Pesos - Description - Second Type From 1932

First Type 100 Pesos
The first year, 1926 used slightly different designs on both obverse and reverse as can be seen from our photographs.On the obverse, there is a sharp truncation at the neck, and the date is below, whereas on the later type, the date is superimposed on the shoulder. The lettering is slightly smaller.
On the reverse, the lettering is also slightly smaller, the engraving around the coat of arms is different, and the "100 Ps" can be read clockwise, the same as the CIEN PESOS, whereas on the later issues, it is retrograde, and reads as part of the DIEZ CONDORES inscription on the lower half of the coin.
Colour
Any colour differences are due to the photographic process rather than a colour differential between the actual coins.Technical Specifications
