I've always liked the country Chile. I worked there for quite some time and the people are really nice. They also have some great food, I highly recommend it if you've never been there! You've probably noticed that in winter in the US most of the fruits are imported from there as well. While I was there I picked up some nice coins to start a collection. They have produced some really nice gold bullion coins if you're looking to pick up some gold, of course premiums are always and issue on anything gold anymore
This one I think I got at a coin shop in Santiago. It was an older silver coin but not too expensive. They also had some really high end items that I pretty much passed on. But here's the coin of the day!
About the coin:
Country: Chile
Denomination: Cinco Centavos
Mint: Casa de Monedas de Chile, Santiago
Composition: 50% silver
Weight: 1 grams
Diameter: 14 mm
Edge: Reeded
Demonetized: Yes
Designer: Louis-Oscar Roty
Obverse: Andean Condor on rock, lettering REPUBLICA DE CHILE (Republic of Chile) 0.5, O Roty
Reverse: Wreath with date and denomination, below hammer and sickle
One interesting fact about this coin I hadn't realized until just now is it was designed by the same Frenchman who also designed the French coin I shared a few days back. I though it was interesting that they outsourced to France on this coin, but was still minted in Santiago, Chile.
Definitely a pretty little coin, and only 50 percent silver. But I picked it up more for numismatic reasons anyway. Chilean coins are great to collect, but they can be a little pricey in higher grades. Thanks for stopping by, and if you have any comments or questions feel free to leave them below.
And my disclaimer: Gold and silver stacking can be a fun hobby but isn't for everyone. You can lose money. I'm not a financial advisor and this isn't financial advice, please always do your own research before spending your hard earned money.
