Interesting fact
The 8 Reales coin from Republic of North Peru made of Silver (.903) weighing 27.07 g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the presidency of Agustín Gamarra, who served from 1829 to 1833 and again from 1838 to 1841. Gamarra was a Peruvian military officer and politician who played a significant role in the country's history, and his presidency saw the introduction of various economic and political reforms. The coin's design and mintage during this time reflect the economic and political climate of Peru during Gamarra's presidency.
