| Additional information |
Alejandro Selkirk is the smaller and far less visited of Chile's two inhabited Juan Fernández islands, named after the Scottish castaway whose 1704–1709 marooning there directly inspired Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. The island was formally renamed in Selkirk's honor in 1966, nearly 260 years after the fact. Chile's commemorative coinage for the Juan Fernández archipelago sits in an oddly thin collector market — struck in modest numbers, seldom seen outside South American dealers.
