Peru seems to be an exception as this denomination was issued starting in 1863 and continuing steadily until the final date in 1958. This type was issued 1917-20 and 1933-49, to be superseded by a [[Peru 1954 2 centavos|zinc coin (KM 228)]]. This date is common. There are many date position varieties and many years are known with overdates. Thick (KM 212.1) and thin (KM 212.2) planchets exist for 1941.<br /> <br /> ''Recorded mintage:'' 565,000.<br /> <br /> ''Specification:'' copper or bronze, 24.5 mm diameter. <br /> <br /> ''Catalog reference:'' KM 212.1. <br /> <br /> ''[[Bibliography|Source:]]''<br /> * Michael, Thomas, and Tracy L.
