Peru – 1966 – 100 Soles – Seated Liberty – Gold – NGC MS65 – Cert 6692915-015

The 1966 issue is particularly interesting within the 100 Soles Oro series because the documented mintage is significantly lower. Combined with the large module and the typical historical treatment of such gold coins, this makes an NGC MS65 specimen considerably more relevant to quality-oriented collectors than an uncertified piece. The type and references are clearly defined: Seated Liberty , Lima mint.
