Chile 10 pesos Liberation Fleet Ship Clipper PR67 PCGS silver coin 1968

The Chile 10 Pesos silver commemorative coin issued in 1968 marks the anniversary of the arrival of the Liberation Fleet, a historic naval expedition that played a decisive role in Chile’s independence. This proof issue reflects the nation’s maritime heritage and enduring republican values. Certified PR67 Deep Cameo by PCGS, the coin displays excellent preservation, strong mirrored fields, and crisp frosted reliefs that enhance its visual impact.

The obverse features a dramatic maritime composition with a fully rigged sailing ship, a classic clipper advancing across stylized ocean waves. The sails are shown billowing beneath layered clouds, with fine details visible in the masts, rigging, hull, and waterline. The inscription “ESCUADRA LIBERTADORA” encircles the scene, identifying the historic fleet, while the dates “1820 – 1968” appear below to commemorate the original voyage and its anniversary. A refined beaded border completes the design.

The reverse presents 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 condor on the right. Above rise ornamental plumes, while below a ribbon displays the national motto “POR LA RAZÓN O LA FUERZA.” The legend “REPUBLICA DE CHILE” follows the rim, with the denomination “10 PESOS” at the bottom.

Struck in silver as a proof issue and encapsulated by PCGS in PR67 DCAM, this coin is a refined example of Chilean commemorative artistry and a strong addition to collections focused on naval history and certified proof coinage.
