Lot of 6x Chile 1958-1975 Banknotes, Various Denominations, All UNC, 6pcs
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. 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.
This lot of Chilean banknotes was used throughout the middle of the 20th century. Subjects include Bernardo O'Higgins (seen on the half escudo note), who was a major leader in Chile's war of independence against the Spanish, and Arturo Prat (1 escudo note), naval officer in the War of the Pacific fought against Peru and Bolivia. All notes are Uncirculated.
