This important gold coin from Peru, minted in 1979, is part of the prestigious “Heroes of the Pacific War” series. It depicts Andrés Avelino Cáceres (1836–1923) , one of Peru’s most famous military leaders and later president.

He is particularly remembered as a “hero of the resistance” for his guerrilla campaigns in the highlands.

This specimen has been certified by NGC with the highest grade MS69 and bears the certificate number 6692248-024 . This places it among the world’s best-preserved pieces (“Top Pop”) and represents an outstanding rarity for collectors specifically seeking the Héroes de la Guerra del Pacífico series or coins featuring the portrait of Andrés Cáceres.
