Chile's monetary reform of 1925 replaced the peso at a rate of 10 pesos to 1 condor, and this note belongs to the transitional issue produced while definitive condor-denominated notes were still being prepared. Rather than suspend circulation during the changeover, the Banco Central — itself only newly established that year, created under the reforms pushed through by the Kemmerer mission — authorized existing peso stocks to be overprinted or reissued with dual-denomination markings, bridging the gap.
Printed domestically by the Imprenta Fiscal rather than commissioned abroad, which was the more common practice for Chilean issues of the period.
