Comment
KM#218.1 was minted by the United States Mint in Philadelphia.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1923-1935 Peruvian 1 Sol coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Peru, known as the "Oncenio" period, which lasted from 1919 to 1930. Despite the economic challenges, the coin's design remained unchanged throughout its production, featuring the Peruvian coat of arms on one side and the denomination on the other. This consistency in design is a testament to the country's resilience and commitment to maintaining a stable currency during a period of economic instability.
