Peru 2012 sol KM-366

from the Mountain Groan Collection

In 2010, the Lima mint began a series of commemoratives honoring various sites and cultures of Peru. This one features the "made in Peru" trademark, with the P in Peru written with a spiral. This denomination has also been used for silver commemoratives. In 1991, the currency was reformed, one nuevo sol = one million intis. Surprisingly enough, the nuevo sol has remained stable against the dollar (US$1 = S/. 2.77, October 2013, US$1 = S/. 3.63, January 2021).

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 7.32 g, Copper-Nickel-zinc, 25.5 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 366.
