If so what is it's silver value?

It says 5 decimos fino on the coin.

The 1926 Peru 1 Sol is 50% fine silver ("5 decimos" = 5/10s). The asw is 0.4019 ounce. (Prior to 1922 these pieces ran at 90% pure.)

I just stuck this one out on CoinZip.

Yours is probably worth the silver value, like mine is. The bullion price on these has raced far ahead of the catalog value.

OK but I do not know what the silver value is? LOL

$18 spot (last time I checked) x .4019 oz. = $7.23
