Comment
Tupaq Amaru or Thupa Amaru (14 April 1545 – 24 September 1572) (first name also spelled Túpac, Tupac, Topa, Tupaq, Thupaq, Thupa, last name also spelled Amaro instead of Amaru) was the last Sapa Inca of the Neo-Inca State, the final remaining independent part of the Inca Empire. He was executed by the Spanish following a months-long pursuit after the fall of the Neo-Inca State.
Interesting fact
The 20,000 Pesetas coin featuring Juan Carlos I (also known as Tupac Amaru I) is a rare and unique coin, as it was minted in 1990 as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as regular currency. Instead, it was produced as a collector's item and was made of gold (.999) weighing 6.75 grams. This coin is particularly interesting because it features the image of Juan Carlos I, who was the King of Spain from 1975 until his abdication in 2014. The coin's design was created by the Spanish artist, Xavier Corberó, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
