[QUOTE="mlov43, post: 5151384, member: 16729"]Well, sir, welcome to MY rabbit hole! I've disappeared down the rabbit hole of trying answer such questions for world coins before, and it took me on a 10-year odyssey. I found the answers (mostly) for what I was looking for in the case of ONE country (South Korea), but only by searching for the answers in the language of the country where the coins were made. Try finding out the Spanish words for "coin designer" and the name of this coin. By doing this, I found this: [URL]https://www.facebook.com/medallasdelperu/posts/d41d8cd9/1543169885846978/[/URL] ...and (after running it through google translate): "[B][I]Peruvian Numismatics: 1 Nuevo Sol coin from 1991.[/I][/B] [I]Due to the impressive devaluation of the beginning due to hyperinflation, it was necessary to replace it with a new monetary unit to facilitate commercial transactions.
