Chile 10 pesos Liberation Fleet Ship Clipper PR68 PCGS silver coin 1968

The Chile 10 Pesos silver commemorative coin issued in 1968 honors the arrival of the Liberation Fleet, a historic naval expedition that played a decisive role in securing Chile’s independence. Struck to commemorate the events of 1820, this proof issue reflects the nation’s maritime heritage, patriotic spirit, and republican values. Certified PR68 Deep Cameo by PCGS, the coin stands at a very high level of preservation, offering exceptional contrast, sharp details, and outstanding eye appeal.

The obverse features a powerful maritime scene with a fully rigged sailing ship, a classic clipper advancing across stylized ocean waves beneath dramatic clouds. Fine details can be seen in the sails, masts, rigging, hull, and waterline, demonstrating the precision of the proof strike. The circular inscription “ESCUADRA LIBERTADORA” identifies the legendary fleet, while the dates “1820 – 1968” below commemorate both the original expedition and its anniversary. A crisp beaded border frames the entire design.

The reverse displays the coat of arms of the Republic of Chile. At the center is a shield bearing a single star, flanked by a huemul deer on the left and a majestic condor on the right. Above rise ornamental plumes, while below a ribbon carries the national motto “POR LA RAZÓN O LA FUERZA.” The legend “REPUBLICA DE CHILE” follows the rim, with the denomination “10 PESOS” clearly struck at the bottom.

Struck in silver as a proof issue and encapsulated by PCGS in PR68 DCAM, this coin is an exceptional example of Chilean commemorative artistry and a premium choice for collectors of naval history and top-grade certified proof coinage.
