About this banknote
The Banco Central de Chile issued the 5 Pesos (½ Condor) banknote in 1958, printed by the Casa de Moneda de Chile. This series was introduced to replace earlier notes produced by Talleres de Especies Valoradas, aligning with the central bank's efforts to consolidate currency production.
The obverse features a blue design with a portrait of Bernardo O'Higgins on the right. The reverse displays a small bank seal on the right. The watermark is a portrait of Diego Portales. Two signature varieties exist: one with Arturo Maschke Tornero and Felipe Herrera Lane, and another with Arturo Maschke Tornero and Luis Mackenna Shiell.
