Comment
KM#170.1 has "Federacion" rather than "Confederacion" on the reverse.Interesting fact
The 8 Reales coin from the Republic of South Peru, minted between 1837 and 1839, is interesting because it was one of the first coins to feature the national emblem of Peru, the vicuña, on its reverse side. The vicuña is a small, wild South American camelid that is native to the Andean region and is considered a symbol of Peruvian identity and pride. The inclusion of the vicuña on the coin reflects the country's rich history and cultural heritage.
