The hobby of collecting coins has been gaining importance in Peru recently. Various factors, such as age or unique design, have caused some of these objects to reach previously unimaginable prices. Such is the case of the coin called “Tumi de oro” of 1 sol.
This coin marks the beginning of the “Wealth and Pride of Peru” collection, launched by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP) during the period from 2010 to 2016, which includes a total of 26 coins. Of the 1 sol coin with the gold Tumi, 10 million copies have been issued.
Although the currency value of this coin is 1 sol, its numismatic (collectible) value currently ranges between S/30 and S/500, according to the main online buying and selling pages.
A video recently published on Tik Tok by the numismatica_lima_este account states that the value of this coin is higher than the others in the same BCRP collection.
The Tumi gold sol coin has a higher value than the other coins in the Wealth and Pride of Peru collection.
On the reverse, these coins carry in the center the Golden Tumi, an instrument with a short, semi-lunar blade and sculptural handle with the figure of ÑAYLAMP, a mythological icon of the Lambayeque Culture.
On the left side of the Tumi, you can see the mark of the National Mint on a geometric design of vertical lines. On the right side of the instrument, the denomination in numbers, the name of the monetary unit on wavy lines, and below the phrase “TUMI DE ORO, S. VIII-XIII AD”.
Like the other one-sun coins, everything is surrounded by an eight-sided polygon that forms the face of the coin.

Jean Pierre Casafranca, numismatics fan and collector, highlights the importance of several factors to evaluate the price of a coin. Considerations such as its state of preservation, the volume of issue in a specific year, and unique peculiarities such as the presence of Masonic elements or braille text on those issued between 1991 and 2000 are essential. According to Casafranca, the most valuable coins include:
- Un sol de 1995: This is among the most difficult to find, reaching significant prices on the market.
- 20 cents from 1996: A 20 cent coin from the 90s can have a value of 3 to 4 soles.
- 20 cents from 2006: Noted for its low issue, this coin can reach a value of up to 100 soles.
Valuable coins of Peru
According to the information provided by the Central Reserve Bank, the set of coins in circulation includes six denominations:
- 10 cents.
- 20 cents.
- 50 cents.
- 1 Sol.
- 2 Soles.
- 5 Soles.
Apart from the Peruvian coins mentioned in previous paragraphs, there is one that entered circulation in the midst of a war context. This is the 20-cent relic from 1879, which was used when the Pacific War conflict began.
This would be one of the most sought following coins today due to its great design, rarity and, above all, the historical theme. “In a very low state, that currency is not going to go below 20 soles. In uncirculated states, they would reach 300 or 400 dollars without problems,” said Jean Pierre Casafranca, collector and numismatics enthusiast, to Infobae Perú.
