Part of a series of redesigned Chilean coinage with ties to the Philadelphia Mint, as Chilean officials employed James Longacre, the Chief Engraver of the US Mint, to help in the creation of new dies for the country. According to R. W. Julian "On April 17 (1867) Longacre notified the Legation that the gold Peso and Escudo (2 pesos) dies had been finished. It was noted, however, that there had been an accident involving the working dies for the Escudo and another die had to be made before the copper proofs could be made and sent on for inspection. It was thought that the two remaining gold denominations, the Doblon (5 pesos) and Condor (10 pesos) would be completed the following month.". Currently the finest known at NGC as of November 2025
