The Peruvian 100 Soles Oro gold coin from 1959 is among the most impressive large gold coins of South America. With a gross weight of approximately 46.8 g and a fine weight of approximately 42.13 g of gold, it significantly surpasses classic 1 oz gold coins and thus possesses an exceptional physical presence.

The 1959 issue had a mintage of 4,710 coins. This makes it interesting not only because of its high gold content, but also as a collectibly significant gold coin from Peru.

The coin offered here has been graded MS65 by PCGS. This high mint-state grade underscores the quality of the piece, as large-format gold coins of this type often show contact marks or storage marks. The obverse features the Peruvian coat of arms, while the reverse depicts the seated Liberty with shield and column.
