1 Nuevo Sol Cacao

Part of Peru's "Riqueza y Orgullo del Perú" series, this issue celebrates cacao cultivation in a country where the plant has been harvested since pre-Columbian times — centuries before European contact. Peru is now among the world's leading producers of fine-flavor cacao, a classification covering only around 8% of global output, and the Banco Central used this series deliberately to assert that agricultural identity on circulating coinage.

KM#375 is one of several collector-oriented issues in the series struck in nickel brass rather than the bimetallic format of standard circulation Nuevos Soles — a distinction worth noting for type collectors.
