Peru – 1964 – 100 Soles – Seated Liberty – Gold – NGC MS65 – Cert 6692915-010

The Peru 100 Soles Oro is a substantial world gold coin with a clear numismatic identity and high recognition value. The Seated Liberty type combines representative state iconography with precisely indicated metal and fine weight information in the legend. This particular example is an NGC MS65 specimen, meaning that, in practice, the condition of large-format gold coins is considerably more selective than the mintage figures alone might suggest.
