This specimen was lot 71385 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Santa Ana, CA, May 2018), where it sold for $144. The catalog description[1] noted, "PERU. 1/5 Libra, 1914. Lima Mint. NGC MS-66. Bright, untoned and sharply struck. Interesting repunch on 1 and 4 of date." The gold libra superseded the silver sol as Peru's main unit of currency in 1898. The libra weighed the same as a British sovereign and equalled ten soles. The type was struck 1906-30 and again 1953-69, along with libras and half libras.
Recorded mintage: 25,000.
Specification: 1.60 g, 0.917 fine gold.
Catalog reference: Fr-75; KM-210.
