Interesting fact

The 8 Reales coin from the Republic of North Peru, minted between 1836 and 1839, is interesting because it was one of the first coins to feature the national emblem of Peru, the Vicuña, which is a small camelid animal native to the Andean region. The Vicuña was a symbol of Peruvian independence and was featured on many coins during this time period.
