Here is an example of the first year of issue of this handsome coin that features the spread wings of a Condor. The reverse presents the first known use of the familiar Hammer & Sickle design made famous by Communist regimes. Please see the 1894 pattern by Tasset presented here. Also, be sure to examine '1895 over 4' example which is unlisted in KM. Detailed photos of the '5' on each coin is presented. Also this plane '5' version shows prominent die cracking on the reverse, particularly around the "S" of the Santiago mintmark. An example of the 1910 version of the coin is also presented. This coin design was featured through various sizes, metals, and silver coins of varying fineness from 1895 to 1940.
