The Peru 1 Libra 1918 gold coin is an emblematic issue of the early 20th-century Peruvian monetary system, inspired by the British sovereign. Struck in Lima with exceptional quality and a high gold fineness of .917, this coin is highly sought after by both numismatists and investors.

Obverse: Features the coat of arms of the Republic of Peru – a shield divided into three fields depicting a vicuña, a cinchona tree, and a cornucopia spilling coins. Around the design is the inscription:
“REPUBLICA PERUANA – LIMA – 9 DECIMOS FINO” and the date 1918.

Reverse: Depicts the profile of Liberty, wearing a laurel wreath and a ribbon inscribed “LIBERTAD”. The legend around reads:
“UN LIBRA”, denoting the denomination.
