The half sol denomination was originally occupied by the silver [[Peru 1907-FG 1/2 sol|''medio sol'']], struck 1907-17. It was superseded by a [[Peru 1923 1/2 sol|billon coin]] in 1922, which was replaced by a [[Peru 1955 1/2 sol|brass type]] in 1935. This type, issued 1966-73 from Lima, is common altho unspotted uncirculated specimens take some searching. It is accompanied by a [[Peru 1970 sol|brass one sol]] also featuring the vicuña. Various brass half sol coins, of ever shrinking diameter, were struck until 1976.
