The listing, Chile vintage Bank note has ended.
Chile vintage bank note, Uncirculated condition.
Note: This unusual note is a fine example of that old adage,
"Waste not, Want not", being put into practice. In 1961, Chile replaced its old peso currency with new "escudo" denominations. Rather than destroy the old uncirculated peso notes locked up in the vaults, the government merely had overprinted with the new denominations. Pictured on this 10 Centesimos overprint is Chile's famed naval hero, Admiral Arturo Prat Chacon.
