The 2 Escudos was only minted 1971 during presidency of Salvador Allende. The coin pattern was minted in silver proofs with 50 specimens and in a copper zinc nickel alloy that was minted as official currency but never released for circulation (Chilean mint recorded 106 specimens made). </span></font></font><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><span style="color: #000000">Caupolicán featured on obverse was a prominent war leader of the Mapuche people of Chile (Southern region) during the first rising against the Spanish from 1553 to 1558. He was captured and executed in 1558, impaled while his wife was forced to watch. The Mapuche people were never conquered by the Spanish. </span></font></font><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><span style="color: #000000">Is it possible to see how many specimens were graded by NGC for example? </span></font></font></p><p><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></font></font></p><p><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><span style="color: #000000">[ATTACH]217260.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]217261.vB[/ATTACH]</span></font></font></p><p><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></font></font></p><p><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><span style="color: #000000"></span></font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
