60th Anniversary of the Boy Scout Association of Chile

Chile issued two stamps at Santiago on 10 February 1971 for the sixtieth anniversary of the Asociación de Boy Scouts de Chile. Both show the association emblem: a fleur-de-lis charged with an Andean condor, a starred shield and two further stars on the petals, with LX ANIVERSARIO FUNDACION DE LA ASOCIACION DE BOY SCOUTS DE CHILE at the foot. The 5 centésimo airmail is inscribed CORREO AEREO CHILE and 5 CTS, in brown-olive and lilac-purple. The 1 escudo ordinary is inscribed CORREOS DE CHILE and Eº 1, in carmine-brown and dark blue-green. Casa de Moneda de Chile printed both by offset lithography, comb perforated 14, 29 × 33 mm, in sheets of 50 (10 × 5) or 100 (10 × 10). The imprint in the lower margin reads CASA DE MONEDA DE CHILE 1970. Quantities were 2,501,400 of the 5 centésimo and 2,225,000 of the 1 escudo. They remained valid until 18 October 1975.
