Lot of 11x Sequential Chile 1957-1958 100 Pesos Banknotes, 11pcs
Chile is a narrow, coastal country that occupies the space between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, bordered by Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina. Settlement began about 10,000 years ago, and the area was soon occupied by the Mapuche. The Mapuche, who remain Chile's largest Indigenous group today, fought valiantly to defend their land against invaders: first, against the Inca, whose imperial ambitions began creeping into northern Chile in the late 15th century; then, against the Spanish, whose conquest of the area began in 1540. Isolated by geography and Mapuche resistance, Spanish settlement in Chile was a bit of a rough, frontier affair that mostly served as a buffer between Spain's enemies and her other colonies. The movement for independence began in the early 19th century, and the struggle between Chilean revolutionaries and Spanish authority continued until 1818, when the Spanish were decisively defeated at the Battle of Maipú.
The 100 peso note features the portrait of Arturo Prat, a Chilean Navy officer who was killed during the War of the Pacific.
