This piece is a restrike of the earlier 20 Pesos type, produced by the Casa de Moneda de Chile decades after the original issues. The Chilean mint struck restrikes of its gold series extensively from the 1960s onward to satisfy international bullion demand, meaning the 1976 date reflects production year rather than any original emission. Collectors should note that distinguishing restrikes from original-date strikes requires attention to die characteristics, as the mint used updated tooling across different restrike periods.
