<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 26526585, member: 24091&quot;]Good questions.&nbsp; To the extent that Peru is a major producer of gold, it makes sense they would strike gold coins just like South Africa.&nbsp; I find it interesting that the designs are so similar to the Seated Liberty series struck in the United States in the 19th century.&nbsp; Also, the Inca Head 50 Soles is exactly the same specs as a double-eagle:&nbsp; 0.9675 AGW.&nbsp; The only other Latin-American country with similar US standards was Guatemala, but I believe their gold was struck in Philadelphia which explains the similarity.&nbsp; These Peruvian coins weren&#039;t, they were all struck at the mint in Lima and any resemblance to US issues must have been to attract US collectors/investors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
