The coin features the circular text 'EL BANCO CENTRAL DE RESERVA DEL PERU' around the edge. In the center, it says 'UN SOL DE ORO' with the promise 'PAGARA AL PORTADOR' (will pay to the bearer). The date 1952 is at the bottom.

Historical Significance

The Sol de Oro (Golden Sun) was the currency of Peru between 1863 and 1985. This particular series reflects a period of economic stability after the currency reforms of the early 20th century, before high inflation led to the introduction of the Inti in 1985.

$1.00 - $5.00 USD (depending on condition)

Care Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place. Handle by the edges using cotton gloves to avoid transferring oils from skin. Do not clean or polish, as this can destroy the numismatic value or patina.
