Description

1979 Peru .925 Silver 5000 Soles de Oro – Huáscar Commemorative

A 1979 Peruvian 5000 Soles de Oro silver commemorative coin issued by the Banco Central de Reserva del Perú. The reverse depicts the ironclad warship Huáscar sailing at sea with radiating lines above, commemorating the centenary of the Battle of Iquique (1879–1979), a key event of the War of the Pacific. The obverse bears the national coat of arms within a wreath, encircled by the issuing authority legend, with the denomination and silver fineness “Plata .925” clearly indicated. This large-format silver issue was struck as part of Peru’s late Sol de Oro commemorative series and combines historical subject matter with substantial silver content.
