Chile 10 pesos Liberation Fleet Ship Clipper PF65 NGC silver coin 1968

The Chile 10 Pesos silver coin of 1968 commemorates the historic arrival of the Liberation Fleet, a pivotal event in Chilean history linked to the struggle for independence and national sovereignty. Struck in silver and certified PF65 Ultra Cameo by NGC, this proof issue stands out for its sharp relief, mirrored fields, and strong historical symbolism, making it a highly collectible modern commemorative.

The obverse presents a detailed sailing ship, a classic clipper with billowing sails cutting through stylized waves. The ship symbolizes the Liberation Fleet led by Lord Cochrane, whose naval campaign played a decisive role in securing Chile’s independence. Surrounding the design is the inscription “ESCUADRA LIBERTADORA,” with the dates “1820 – 1968” marking the historical event and its anniversary. Fine denticles frame the rim, emphasizing the precision of the proof strike.

The reverse displays the coat of arms of the Republic of Chile, featuring the shield with a central star, flanked by a condor and a huemul deer. Above the shield rises the crest with plumes, while below appears a ribbon bearing the national motto “POR LA RAZÓN O LA FUERZA.” The legend “REPUBLICA DE CHILE” encircles the upper edge, with the denomination “10 PESOS” clearly shown at the bottom.

Struck as a proof coin with Ultra Cameo contrast and encapsulated by NGC in PF65, this issue offers both visual elegance and strong historical meaning. An excellent choice for collectors of Chilean silver, naval history themes, and certified proof coinage.
