Interesting fact
The 5 Soles Oro coin from Peru, minted between 1956 and 1969, has an interesting feature. It has a unique composition of 90% gold and 10% copper, which gives it a distinct golden color. This makes it stand out from other coins of its time, which were often made of silver or copper. The use of gold in the coin's composition also reflects the rich mineral resources of Peru, which has a long history of gold mining.
