Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1859-1861 Peruvian 1 Real coin is that it was minted during a time of transition for Peru. The country was moving from a Spanish colony to an independent nation, and this coin was minted during that transition period. It features the iconic Peruvian liberator, Jose de San Martin, on one side and the Peruvian coat of arms on the other. This coin is a symbol of Peru's rich history and its fight for independence.
