The Inti was introduced in 1985 to replace the sol at a rate of 1,000 to one, itself a casualty of the hyperinflationary spiral that would ultimately consume the Inti as well — by 1991 it was replaced by the nuevo sol at 1,000,000 to one. This 1989 silver issue existed almost entirely outside circulation, struck for collectors while the base-metal Inti coins in everyday use were losing value faster than they could be spent.
Pachacutec, the ninth Sapa Inca, oversaw the empire's greatest territorial expansion in the mid-fifteenth century and is generally credited with ordering construction of Machu Picchu.
