Description from the seller
Peru ½ Sol, 1928 – Republic of Peru
A classic early-20th-century Peruvian silver circulation coin struck in 1928 at the Lima Mint for the Republic of Peru. This ½ Sol issue was minted in .500 fine silver, weighing 12.50 g with a diameter of 30 mm and a reeded edge.
On the obverse, the national arms of Peru are surrounded by the legend “REPUBLICA PERUANA LIMA” with the date below. The reverse depicts a seated figure of Liberty flanked by a shield and column, with the inscription “FIRME Y FELIZ POR LA UNION” above and the denomination “1/2 SOL” below, reflecting Peru’s republican motto.
The 1928 ½ Sol was struck in a mintage of approximately 3,028,000 and forms part of the broader ½ Sol series issued between 1922 and 1935, notable for its transitional silver content before later debasement.
