<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2527825, member: 39&quot;]That hammer and sickle on this coin and a few others from Chile made me wonder. I know that the symbol was introduced in Russia (then RSFSR) shortly after the October revolution, and then used in the USSR and some other communist countries. The funny thing is, you can also find it on this coin from 1895 for example: <a href="http://www.moneta-coins.com/photopost/data/600/Chile1895.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.moneta-coins.com/photopost/data/600/Chile1895.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.moneta-coins.com/photopost/data/600/Chile1895.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Guess it also refers to some kind of unity of farmers and (industrial) workers. But I am still surprised to see it on these early coins ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
