Peru, Olympic Discuss Pattern 20 Nuevos Soles 1996
Issued in 1996 to commemorate the Olympics held in Atlanta, USA. Low mintage silver proofs. In 1996 Peru authorized a series of pattern crowns for the Olympics which were held in Atlanta, Georgia, US. Unfortunately they were too late and only a very small number (125 pieces) were ever struck. Peru is fast becoming a very rich country and as most of these patterns never made it to Peru; they just might be something for the future.
