Collection: Chilean Banknotes

The Chilean peso was born on September 29, 1975, with a brutal cut: one thousand escudos, the previous currency, became worth just one, in the midst of a military dictatorship and with skyrocketing inflation.

Heroes of war and paper

The heroes of the War of the Pacific feature prominently in the series: Arturo Prat on the 10,000-peso banknote and Ignacio Carrera Pinto on the 1,000-peso one. Gabriela Mistral, Latin America's first Nobel laureate in Literature, is the only woman in the series, appearing on the 5,000-peso note.

National parks on the reverse

Each banknote combines a portrait with a different protected landscape: Torres del Paine, the Surire salt flat, or Alberto de Agostini National Park, in the Chilean Patagonia. The current series, released between 2009 and 2010 for the bicentennial, mixes polymer and cotton paper banknotes.
