Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1822 Peruvian ¼ Real coin is that it was part of a provisional coinage issued during the Peruvian War of Independence. The coin was minted in 1822, when Peru was still a Spanish colony, but the provisional government established by José de San Martín and Simón Bolívar issued these coins as a temporary solution to the lack of official currency. The coin's design features the Spanish coat of arms on one side and the denomination and year on the other. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and valuable, with some specimens selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
