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

   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…

   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...
