Comment
The mystique of the forgotten city is engraved into this Forgotten Cities Silver Coin - Machu Picchu. The Incas built this city around 1450AD, as what is now believed to be an estate for the Inca emperor, Pachacuti (1438-1472), but abandoned it at the time of the Spanish Conquest only a century later. Lost to memory except to the local population it wasn't 'rediscovered' and bought to international attention until 1911, by the American Hiram Bingham.Interesting fact
The Machu Picchu coin features a unique design that showcases the famous Inca citadel in Peru, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The coin's design is surrounded by a stunning landscape that adds to its beauty and collectibility.
