There are two mint marks for this coin, if minted in Chile it has an S with an o siting on top. If minted at the Royal Dutch Mintit has the caduceus symbol, which is the snakes wrapping around a pole with wings on top. Known in medical communites, ☤.
Trying a little iPhone photography on this post, but I cannot get it right, I would need a steady hand or a tripod which I do not have.
There also seems to be varieties in the font of LIBERTADOR B O'HIGGINS, where a larger font also indicates it is from the Chilean mint. The value is the same in either case and the mintage remains a mystery but seem to pretty common in change, although a lower amount of Royal dutch Minted coins appears.
Here's the stats...

1997 Chile 10 Pesos
Do you have a Chile coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment
I always think I have more South American coins than I actually own. Mostly because I know a lot of people from that continent so the coins seems common. It turns I only have two coins from Chile.
This coin is much more silver color in hand but halogen lights and a lack of proper photo setup makes it look a bit yellow. Trust me it is more nickel than brass.
Although this one has the Santiago mint mark on the front it has no real affect since all these types of 10 Pesos have it.
