I received this bimetallic coin and other coins from someone I knew who visited CHILE. This is a 2006 100 Pesos coin that features a Mapuche woman on the obverse. According to this wikipedia page, the Mapuche are a group of indigenous inhabitants of south-central Chile and southwestern Argentina. That tribe constitutes 4% of Chile's population. Below the woman is the inscription 'Pueblos Originarios,' which means 'Native Peoples'.
