2021 Palau $5 1-oz Silver Inca Sun God Ultra High Relief Gilt Gem BU

The Mystery of the Missing Incan Sun Disc

When an army of conquistadores led by Francisco Pizarro began the Spanish Conquest of the Inca Empire in 1532, one of the first places that fell to the invaders was the Inca’s Temple of the Sun in the Peruvian city of Cusco. It was there that the Incas stored their most prized possession: A golden disc depicting Inti, the Incan Sun God. Many theories exist that try to explain what happened to the ancient artifact, but one thing they all agree on is that the disc has gone missing for nearly 500 years. You may not be able to solve the mystery of the missing disc, but you can own this miniature replica struck as a silver coin layered in gleaming gold!

Dome-Shaped Coin Replicates The Image of the Inca’s Golden Disc

Not only has this uncanny coin been struck by Coin Invest trust (CIT) in a full ounce of 99.9% fine silver, but it was crafted using CIT’s Smartminting® technology to create incredible Ultra High Relief detail that seems to explode from the coin’s surface. The piece depicts what the ancient Sun Disc looked like with the face of Inti rising above the dome-shaped coin. An added layer of gleaming gold adds the finishing touch to this peculiar-yet-captivating coin that pays tribute to an ancient artifact that somehow escaped the clutches of gold-hungry conquistadores.

So, Where IS the Incan Sun Disc?

So, what DID happen to the Inca’s golden disc? One theory holds that it was saved by the Inca people and secretly moved to the Incan city of Gran Paititi, which, coincidently, has also gone missing. According to Incan stories passed down from generation to generation, the “lost” city sits somewhere high up in the Andes Mountains outside the reach those who would rob the Incans of their most revered treasure. Other tales say it was hidden in a subterranean temple below Lake Titicaca. Yet another theory postulates that the Spaniards did, in fact, seize the disc and had it melted down and shipped to Spain. Lacking evidence to prove any of these theories, the legend of the golden disc lives on to this day!
