1 Nuevo Sol Machu Picchu

Issued as part of Peru's long-running "Riqueza y Orgullo del Perú" collector series, which the Banco Central de Reserva launched to highlight the country's archaeological and natural heritage site by site. Machu Picchu had been nominated for UNESCO World Heritage status back in 1983, and renewed international attention in the mid-2000s — partly driven by its ultimately successful 2007 campaign to be named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World — made it a natural subject for this coin well before that campaign concluded.
