Peru 1818 4 reales rev DSLR.jpg

This specimen is one of a series struck 1811-21 during the reign of Ferdinand VII (1808-33). As a class, colonial coinage of Peru is much less plentiful than that of Mexico, tho it is more available than the remaining mints. However, Harris[1] noted finding about three times as many Peruvian four reales of Ferdinand VII as that of Mexico, so it is safe to say that this type is fairly common. Assayer "JP" is noted for the years 1803-23.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 13.54 grams, 0.896 fine silver, .390 troy oz ASW.

Catalog reference: Cayón-15730, KM 116.
