Interesting fact
The 1 Nuevo Sol coin was the first coin in the world to feature braille letters on its surface. The braille letters "S/N" (for "Sol Nuevo") were included on the coin's reverse side, making it accessible to visually impaired individuals. This innovative feature was introduced by the Central Bank of Peru in 1991, and it set a new standard for accessibility in currency design.
