1 Nuevo Sol Inmaculada Jesuitas

Part of Peru's "Riqueza y Orgullo del Perú" commemorative series, this piece honors the Jesuit mission church of La Inmaculada Concepción in Juli, on the western shore of Lake Titicaca. The Juli missions were established in the 1570s and became the most sophisticated Jesuit educational enterprise in South America — the training ground whose methods were later exported wholesale to the famous reductions of Paraguay.

The church itself survived the Jesuit expulsion of 1767, when Charles III ordered the Society of Jesus out of all Spanish territories in a single coordinated decree.
