Peru 1831 cuartilla rev DSLR.jpg

This type was struck at Lima 1826-56. The date is listed in the SCWC as common, tho all Peruvian minors are scarcer in nice condition than the catalog values would indicate; among the quarter reales, only the 1855 is frequently seen. Many overdates are listed, including an 1831/0, which is priced lower than the regular date.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 0.84 g, 0.903 fine silver, .024 troy oz ASW.

Catalog reference: KM-143.1.
