<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 4800599, member: 8959&quot;]The Chilean Volcano and Condor Breaking Chains types were the first coins of the Chilean Republic after gaining independence from Spain in 1817. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Volcano coins, also known as &#039;Chile Independiente&#039; were struck from 1817 until 1834. They were followed by the &#039;Condor Breaking Chains&#039; design struck from 1838 until 1852. Both were struck in 8, 2, 1 and 1/2 Real denominations. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a grouping of 1/2 reales of both types. I thought they look good together: Volcanoes and Condors, iconic symbols of Chile and of the Andean countries.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1165805[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1165806[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
