| Additional information |
Part of Peru's "Riqueza y Orgullo del Perú" series launched in 2010, this issue highlights Huaytará's unusual architectural history: the colonial church of San Juan Bautista was built directly onto — and incorporating — an Inca administrative palace, making the site one of the most legible examples of Spanish superimposition over Andean infrastructure anywhere in the country. The Inca structure beneath dates to the late Tawantinsuyu period, likely constructed under Huayna Capac.
The series ran through multiple annual releases, each assigned to a distinct regional heritage site. Huaytará's inclusion in the 2013 batch reflects the Peruvian government's ongoing effort to assert provincial identity through circulating coinage rather than limiting such recognition to banknotes or commemoratives.
