This dinero, the equivalent of a dime, was struck in Lima in 1912. Most issued after 1898 were made from melted down one sol coins. Varieties and overdates abound; for 1912, assayer varieties FG/JF and FG/JG are recorded and a 1912/02 overdate. A earlier type, with a slightly different figure of seated Liberty, was issued 1863-64. The silver coin was replaced in 1918 by a copper-nickel five centavos.

Recorded mintage: 400,000.

Specification: 2.50 g, 0.900 fine silver, reeded edge.

Catalog reference: KM 204.2.
