1 Nuevo Sol 20th Anniversary

The nuevo sol was introduced in 1991 as part of a radical stabilization program designed to kill an inflation rate that had reached 7,650% in 1990 under the García administration. This coin marks twenty years of that currency surviving — an achievement genuinely worth noting given that its predecessor, the inti, lasted less than a decade before being wiped out by the same crisis the nuevo sol was created to fix.
