The story

The front honours Ignacio Carrera Pinto (1848-1882), a Chilean army officer remembered as a hero of the War of the Pacific, shown beside a stylized copihue, Chile’s national flower. The back shows the granite towers of Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia, with guanacos, the wild camelids of the region. Together they stand for national courage and Chile’s natural heritage.
