Peru 1969 medio sol rev DSLR.jpg

The half sol denomination was originally occupied by the silver medio sol, struck 1907-17. It was superseded by a billon coin in 1922, which was replaced by a brass type in 1935.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 brass one sol also featuring the vicuña. Various brass half sol coins, of ever shrinking diameter, were struck until 1976.

Recorded mintage: 13,890,000.

Specification: 4.2 g, brass, 22.5 mm diameter, reeded edge.

Catalog reference: KM 247.
