Chile's dual-denomination system during this period was a direct consequence of the 1925 monetary reform, which introduced the Condor at a rate of 10 Pesos — meaning this note's face value required two entirely different arithmetic systems to be printed simultaneously, one for daily commerce and one for the gold-anchored unit that never fully took hold in public usage. The Condor was abandoned by 1960 without ever replacing the Peso in practice.
Talleres de Especies Valoradas, the in-house government printing works in Santiago, produced the entire run domestically — unusual for high-denomination Chilean paper of this era, which had frequently relied on Bradbury Wilkinson or similar British security printers. Quality control across the decade-long print run was inconsistent, and serial number spacing irregularities are common across the series.
