Depicts an Andean condor standing on a rock left with opening wings. Mint mark below.

The Andean condor (Vultur gryphus) is a South American bird in the New World vulture family Cathartidae and is the only member of the genus Vultur. Found in the Andes mountains and adjacent Pacific coasts of western South America, the Andean condor is the largest flying bird in the world by combined measurement of weight and wingspan.

The Andean condor is a national symbol of Chile and plays an important role in the folklore and mythology of the Andean regions.
