2022 Machu Picchu $5 Selectively Gold-Plated 2oz Silver Antiqued High Relief Coin
This beautiful coin has been created both for those who like travelling and those fascinated by historical mysteries. The impressive and mysterious city of Machu Picchu is called the pride of Peru. It is considered a 16th century Inca city, which even today poses many questions to both history researchers and travelers. To date, it is one of the most mysterious and also one of the most protected places in the world. The territory of Machu Picchu is a no-fly zone, and the number of tourist tickets is limited.
This remarkable city was discovered at an altitude of more than two kilometers, so it is often called the city above the clouds. The greatest secret is what happened to this city, because it seems that all the people who used to live there disappeared mysteriously, and only untouched nature remains.
Legend says that the Inca territory located there was invaded by the Spanish conquistadors in 1532, but they did not manage to conquer the mountain city of Machu Picchu. Therefore, what happened and where the city residents fled remains unknown.
