At first, all the Latin American republics had Spanish as their national currency to weight being adopted by Peru in 1825, but with the national emblem. The Bolivian dollar was a currency that was theoretically equal to the Peruvian weight, but in practice it was feeble, had lower silver content and so, in southern Peru, Bolivia moved to the Peruvian currency. To avoid this, create a different currency to the Bolivian peso or dollar was decided in 1863.
The monetary unit is called Sol, was 37 mm in diameter, 25 grams and adopted the metric system . The law also established the mean sun, the fifth sun , the tenth sun or money and the average money value of 5 cents.
Gold coins were also made, popularly called Sol de Oro, with the value of 5 , 10 and 20 soles .









Since 1991 the new sun is the currency of legal tender in Perú.
