Reproduction of the Known "Plaque of Echenique" a chest ornament made of gold, about 5.3 inches in diameter, is thought to originate from Cusco, Peru, sometime in the last 3,000 years.
The original gold piece exhibited in several museums. It is considered that the today called "Plaque of Echenique" was carried on the chest by the sovereign of Tahuantinsuyo, as a symbol of being the authentic "Son of the Sun"
When the first conquerors arrived at the capital of the Empire, they found among the fabulous treasures of the mythical Koricancha Temple, the lavish replica of the "Intip Inti" an immense solid gold sun, on the front of the temple.
This fabulous reply fell to Mancio Sierra de Leguízamo in the distribution of the loot from Cusco; Pizarro himself arranged for such a magnificent medal to be given to him. The soldier, an inveterate gambler, lost it on the same night, betting it. What happened to it unknown it is believed that was melted.
