Interesting fact
The ½ Sol coin from Peru, minted between 1864 and 1865, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of silver (.900), it was designed with a unique blend of Spanish and indigenous Peruvian elements. The obverse side features the Peruvian coat of arms, while the reverse side showcases an image of the Inca sun god, Inti. This blending of cultures reflects the rich history and heritage of Peru during that time period.
