Peru: 1913 "5to DE SOL" = 1/5 sol, right?

lordmarcovan

If Peru struck a silver 1/5 sol coin, then why am I not finding it in the 2007 Krause?

I tried under 1/5 sol, but there are no 1/5 sol coins listed- it skips from the 1-dinero to the 1/2 sol pieces, with nothing in between!

Am I missing something, or have I just run up against another one of those annoying Krause omissions?

Will check worldcoingallery.com and see if I can anwer my own question.

Yep. Sho' nuf. Another #@%* Krause omission.

Nope not in the 2007 but it is in my old trusty 1987 Krause... KM#205 5.000g., .900 silver .1447 ASW

Your 1913 is listed as 1913 FG and 1913 FG-R total combined mintage 223,000 NOTE: some 1911-17 have R left of shield tip on reverse. Die varieties exist.

Edited to add the second line above...

Thanks. I'll get the loupe to it.

Stinkin' newer Krause books. You can't trust 'em. Grrr.
