This specimen is one of a series struck 1752-60 during the reign of Ferdinand VII (1746-59). Gilboy[1] notes the date as rare. This is only one of two dates in the series that display the assayer combination JD. As a class, pillar coinage of Peru is much less plentiful than that of Mexico, though it is more available than the remaining mints. Mexican numismatists hotly debate which side of the coin constitutes the obverse. Gilboy[1] depicts the shield side as the obverse as that side bears the king's name. However, auction catalogs and dealer listings more frequently use the pillars and globes side as the obverse, as that side bears the date.
