The first peso to be used in Chile was introduced in 1817, and its value was equated to 8 Spanish colonial reales. The Spanish colonial real was the currency being used by the Spanish colonies, the Philippines, and the United States. Until 1851, this first Chilean peso was subdivided into eight reales. Throughout this year, one peso was equated to 5 French francs. In 1885, Chile started to use gold as a standard measure of currency, pegging the peso to the British sterling pound. During this time, 1 peso was also equivalent to 1 shilling and 6 pence.

When the Chilean peso was re-introduced in 1975, its value was allowed to fluctuate with a crawling peg. It meant that the value of this currency was allowed to rise or drop within a given range that was determined by a centralized value. During this time, the use of money had not been fully adopted in the world; however, during the economic reforms that took place between the 70s and 80s, the use of currency was made more open. Chile was leading in these reforms, which led to the growing value of the peso. The peso was pegged to the US dollar between 1979 and 1982. In 1984, the peso again became independent, meaning its value was not determined by any currency. By 1999, the peso was floating freely against the United States dollar.

The National Flag of Chile features two equal horizontal bands of white (top) and red; with a blue square band of the same height as the white band positioned at the hoist-side end of the white band. This blue square band bears a white five-pointed star in the center. The blue color of the band represents the high-mountain sky and the Pacific Ocean. The white color represents the snow-covered Andes mountains. The red color symbolizes the bloodshed by the Chileans during the long struggle for independence from Spain. The white five-pointed star represents a guide to progress and honor. The flag has a width-to-length proportion ratio of 2:3.

The original version of the National Coat of Arms of Chile was designed by Charles Wood Taylor – an English artist and was adopted on June 26, 1834. The current version of the Coat of Arms was adopted on December 12, 1967. It is made up of a figurative background which is divided into two equal parts: the top one is blue and the bottom one is red. In the center of the shield is a five-pointed white star. On the right side of the background is an Andean Condor which is the most significant bird of prey. On the left side of the background is a huemul - which is the most singular and rare mammal of the Chilean territory. Both animals have the navy's golden crown on their heads, which is a symbol of the heroic deeds of the Chilean Navy in the Pacific Ocean. Atop the shield stands three feathered crests; each feather bearing one color: blue, white, and red. This feathered crest was a symbol of distinction that former Presidents of the Republic used to wear on their hats. Underneath the coat of arms, there is a white band with the motto: "Por la Razón o la Fuerza" ("By reason or by force").

Chile used the Spanish flag when it was a Spanish colony, but abandoned the flag as soon as Chile achieved independence. The new nation adopted the Flag of the Transition after the Battle of Chacabuco in 1812, which was a triband with blue, white, and red stripes. Although the flag was well received by Chileans, it could not be used in official matters because it resembled the flags of both the Netherlands and France. As a result, the flag was receded five months later. The original version of the flag had a slightly tilted star, with a smaller eight-pointed star at the center, as well as a coat of arms in the middle of the flag. The use of the star can be traced back to the native Mapuche people during the Arauco War. However, the design proved to be challenging to construct, and consequentially, the asterisk and the coat of arms were removed. A new government that took over replaced the Flag of Transition with the current official flag of Chile.

In 1925, coins and banknotes were introduced in cóndores valued at 10 pesos. In 1932, the gold standard was abolished making the value of the Chilean pesos depreciate. In 1960, the peso had lost its value, and it was replaced by the escudo, which was valued at 1,000 pesos. However, 15 years later the current Chilean peso was re-introduced replacing the escudo. This currency has remained unchanged since then. The 5 and 10-peso coins were circulated in 1976. The coins were gaining fame, and they had circulated the economy for quite some time. In 1981, 50 and 100-peso coins were circulated and in 2000, the first-ever 500 peso coins were minted.
