1 Sol Pre-Columbian Ceramics - Nazca Culture

Peru's ongoing numismatic series documenting pre-Columbian cultures has issued coins tied to the Nazca civilization, best known for the geoglyphs etched into the southern coastal desert — lines and figures visible only from altitude, whose construction method and purpose remain genuinely disputed among archaeologists. The Nazca flourished roughly 100 BCE to 800 CE along the Ica and Río Grande drainages, producing some of the ancient Americas' most technically accomplished polychrome pottery.

This is a circulation-grade commemorative struck in nickel brass, a composition the BCR has used consistently across this series to keep production costs viable for face-value release.
