Peru 1953 10 centavos rev DSLR.jpg

The ten centavos denomination was originally occupied by the silver dinero, struck 1863-1917. It was superseded by a copper-nickel coin in 1918, which was replaced by a brass type in 1942 when World War Two drove up the price of nickel. This sub-type, issued 1951-65, features a thinner planchet and a numeric date. All dates are common. It is accompanied by brass five and twenty centavos.

Recorded mintage: 5,668,000.

Specification: 2.7 g, brass, 20 mm diameter, reeded edge.

Catalog reference: KM 224.2.
