Historical Context

Arturo Prat, naval officer and lawyer, died boarding the Peruvian ironclad Huascar at the Battle of Iquique on 21 May 1879, in the War of the Pacific, and is Chile's national hero. The escudo, worth 1,000 old pesos, was used from 1960 until 1975, when the peso returned at 1,000 escudos to 1.

Condition

[Est. UNC] No folds, creases or handling, with bright white paper and sharp corners. A faint mirrored offset of the serial shows in the oval on the back, an ink set-off from stacking at the printer and common on this issue. No tears, holes or writing. Grade estimated from the scans; not professionally graded.

Legal Tender

No longer legal tender: the escudo was withdrawn on 29 September 1975, when the peso replaced it.

2010 Chile 1000 Pesos Banknotes, Lot of 3, Banco Central de Chile, Ignacio Carrera Pinto / Torres del Paine National Park and guanacos, Pick P-161a [Est. VG to VG-F]

$6.21 2010 Est. VG-F

Description

Three Banco Central de Chile 1000 pesos polymer notes dated 2010, Pick P-161a, signatures De Gregorio and Zurbuchen. The front shows Ignacio Carrera Pinto (1848-1882), with a clear window carrying his portrait and 1000; the back shows Torres del Paine National Park and guanacos. Printed by Casa de Moneda de Chile and Note Printing Australia. Catalog size 120 x 70 mm. Serials AG01415812, DG01820580 and FG02750124. Anti-counterfeiting features (Numista): the clear window with Carrera Pinto's portrait and 1000 repeated 7 times, microprinting, a see-through sun design with 7 rays, and a raised mark for the visually impaired. Scanners refuse to copy notes with these features, so the three notes were photographed in a light box instead of scanned. Each note has its own photo set: stacked front and back, front, back, the serial, the portrait and Torres del Paine.

Historical Context

Ignacio Carrera Pinto died leading the defense of La Concepcion in the War of the Pacific in July 1882. This polymer note entered circulation on 11 May 2011.

Condition

[Est. VG to VG-F] Please read this before buying: all three notes have heavy, permanent creases and folds. Polymer holds a hard crease, and these cannot be pressed or flattened out, so the notes will not lie flat. AG01415812: a hard diagonal fold across the lower left of the front and a folded corner. DG01820580: a crack line in the polymer film at the left of the front, the bottom-left corner hard folded over (it springs back within seconds when unfolded), and a pinhole-size mark in the window. FG02750124: a pink stain at the left on both sides, blue ink lines by MIL PESOS, and creased and folded corners. Light-box photos can soften how creases look, so expect them to be at least as strong in hand as in the photos; please review all 21 photos closely. Sold as is and priced accordingly. Grade estimated; not professionally graded.

Legal Tender

Current design, still in circulation and legal tender in Chile.
