100 Pesos 10 Condores

The dual denomination — 100 Pesos and 10 Condores simultaneously — reflects Chile's awkward transitional monetary arithmetic of the period, where the Condor (worth 10 Pesos) had been introduced as a unit of account in 1925 but never fully displaced the Peso in everyday use. Both values were legally valid and co-printed on the same note, a compromise that persisted until the Condor was quietly abandoned.

Arturo Maschke Tornero's signature appears across both date combinations in this series, his tenure at the Banco Central spanning the entire issue window. Talleres de Especies Valoradas, the Chilean state security printing works, handled the full production domestically — relatively unusual for South American issues of this period, which more often relied on American Bank Note or Waterlow.
