Chile 5 centavos Regular Coinage Condor KM-155.2a AU58 PCGS silver coin 1908

The Chile 5 Centavos coin dated 1908 is a classic issue from the early Republican monetary system, representing national symbolism and everyday circulation coinage of the early 20th century. Struck during a period of economic consolidation, this denomination reflects Chile’s effort to present strength, stability, and sovereignty through clear and powerful imagery.

The obverse features a majestic condor with wings partially spread, standing firmly on rocky ground. The bird’s feathers are rendered with strong, textured detail, emphasizing power and vigilance. Encircling the design is the legend “REPUBLICA DE CHILE,” while a beaded border frames the rim, adding balance and structure to the composition. The condor, a national symbol of Chile, represents freedom, authority, and the Andean spirit.

The reverse displays a clean and symmetrical layout centered on the denomination “CINCO CENTAVOS,” with the date “1908” positioned below. The value is surrounded by an elegant laurel wreath tied at the bottom with a ribbon, symbolizing victory, unity, and civic pride. A small mint mark appears above the denomination, and the entire design is enclosed by a beaded rim that complements the obverse.

Struck in silver and preserved with natural circulation patina, this example is certified PCGS AU58, retaining strong detail with light wear consistent with limited use. A desirable piece of Chilean numismatic history, it is an excellent addition for collectors of early Republic coinage and classic world silver issues.
