    The coat of arms is unmistakably that of Peru, however, being a 20 centavo piece with the word "Oro" (gold) below is odd. I would like to check my reference books but I'm away from my home right now. Definately an odd cool piece.

    Listed in the Latin American Tokens catalog by Rulau as Per-21. Fairly common.

    The Peruvian "dollar" was the sol de oro, the "sun of gold."
