Peru – 50 Soles – 1967 – Inca Indian Head – Gold – Lima Mint – 0.9675 oz fine gold

Peru 50 Soles 1967 – a classic gold coin from South America with high fine weight, distinctive Inca motif and a mintage of only 10,000 pieces.

This 50-sole gold coin was minted in 1967 at the Lima Mint. The obverse features the well-known Inca head with traditional headdress, while the reverse displays a pre-Columbian-inspired design with the denomination “Cincuenta Soles Oro.” This gives the coin not only a high gold value but also a unique historical and cultural significance.

Weighing in at 33.4363 g, made of 900 gold and containing 0.9675 oz of pure gold, this coin is just under a full troy ounce of gold. This makes it significantly heavier than many smaller historical gold coins, appealing to both collectors of South American gold coins and buyers seeking a classic gold coin with added numismatic significance.

The 1967 issue was minted in a limited edition of only 10,000 pieces. This combination of high gold content, limited mintage, Lima Mint, and the striking Inca Indian Head motif makes the Peruvian 50 Soles an interesting addition to a discerning gold coin collection.
