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 It was superseded by a billon coin in 1922, which was replaced by a brass type in 1935.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 1942-43 from San Francisco, is common altho unspotted uncirculated specimens are scarce. It is accompanied by issues from Philadelphia, Lima and London. Various brass half sol coins, of ever shrinking diameter, were struck until 1976.
Recorded mintage: 1,668,000.
