CHILE: AR peso, Copiapó Province, ND (1859), KM-2.2, Arabic 1, normal shield variety, with usual lamination defects, PCGS graded AU55. Issued by Pedro León Gallo Goyenechea, a revolutionary politician, that organized a failed uprising against the conservative government of Manuel Montt in 1859. He seized the city of Copiapó and then advanced south towards Santiago, taking Coquimbo and La Serena. However after the defeat of Cerro Grande (April 29, 1859) in the vicinity of La Serena, he fled the country, where he spent 5 years in exile in Argentina, the United States and then Europe before returning after a presidential pardon in 1863.
