You’ll travel back in time with these three Uncirculated notes from Chile. Each engraving richly details the South American country’s early colonial history under Spanish rule:

• ó Escudo Note depicts arrival of Spanish naval soldier Diego de Almagro, considered the first European to set foot among the Indigenous Mapuche and Aymara tribes.
• 1 Escudo Note depicts 1541 founding of Santiago, the capital, by Pedro de Valdivia, a Spanish army soldier who was the first royal governor of Chile.
• 5 Escudos Note depicts the Battle of Rancagua when rebel Chilean forces were overcome by the Spanish Army in 1814.

Now obsolete, the Escudo Series replaced the peso when inflation was rampant in Chile from 1960 to 1975. This affordable three-note set expands a world paper currency collection or introduces a young collector to early South American political and economic history. Order now!
