Historical Insight:
The mid-1990s were a period of economic stabilization and democratic consolidation in Chile. Under President Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle, the country strengthened its market economy and international trade ties following the reforms initiated in the 1980s. Coins from this era symbolize Chile’s steady transition toward prosperity and its modern national identity.

Collecting Note:
The 50 Pesos coin of 1995 is part of a widely circulated but aesthetically elegant series, notable for its heraldic obverse and balanced proportions. Its golden tone (from aluminum-bronze alloy) and emblematic national symbols make it a fine representative of post-reform Chilean currency.
