<p>[QUOTE="princeofwaldo, post: 3719020, member: 24091"]Mintage of 27,000 which means they are fairly available near melt. Nice ones a little more, but not much. I've always liked the design too, including the reverse which includes a different version of the coat of arms than usually seen on the other 100 Soles coins. The following year, they struck another 100 Soles commemorative, this one for the 100th anniversary of the Spain/Peru Naval battle. It has considerably lower mintage at 6,253 (per Krause) and always has a pretty stiff premium attached to it, though there is a silver 20 Soles with a mintage of only 4,001 that sells for under $25 even in MS65. Go figure! For whatever reason it is seen more often than the 1966 Lima Mint Anniversary 20 Soles with a mintage of 150,000.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>silver[ATTACH=full]996826[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]996827[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]996828[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]996829[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
