Just got home from work and super stoked to show you a new addition I got this morning!

Actually pinch and zoom on this lil diddy for a better peek if you want?.. It's in super condition!

This is a 1963 Peru 5 soles gold coin. The obverse features a Seated Lady Liberty with a shield and coat of arms. The sun appears hence the coins name

It's composed of 90% gold 10% copper

A whopping total 2.3404 grams of gold

These ran from 1956-69 and have tiny mintages relative to other world coins from this era. The 1963 had a total of 3,945 produced that year

I love the reverse with the coat of arms, it's got so much going on in the design.

I actually like both sides of this coin and that's rare, usually I have a favorite but this one they're both so cool 👍😎

Sweet piece bro! I like the llama 😂

Haha yeah the llama is chillin! 😂

Awesome little coin dude!

Interesting pickup. I'd be curious to know how much that one cost you and whether it has any numismatic value.

I paid far over spot and yes it has value above its metal weight for crazy ppl like myself 👍😎

What a nice 1963 Peru 5 soles gold coin. A seated Liberty... they call her Liberty too? Beautiful piece, my friend! Thanks for showing us your new acquisition!

Lady of Liberty actually but yeah, a few different countries besides the US use "Lady Liberty" on thier coins. Thx for checking out my new addition Saver

Nice addition to the collection!

Thanks for stopping by @gallonofpcp haha spelling that out I realised what it was. Nice name 😁

Cross Peru off the list, so you're collecting something from everywhere on the planet then? :D

Sweet come up bro!

That was worth the zooming in on all the way, it's such a nice looking coin!

Are you collecting coins from every country? They have cool scratch off maps you could use to keep track. Either way that is a sweet coin. Thanks for sharing.

Small but very cool

Beautiful coin!

Very nice coin man. You're right both sides of this one are dope.

Excellent looking coin brother! Slow and steady, steady and slow... that’s the way the stacker goes! 👍🏼🍺🥓
