    Description

    1822 Peru provisional 8 reales. This was the first coin minted in the nascent Peruvian Republic once Lima was liberated from Spain. It was minted for just one additional year before Royalist forces retook the capital and production ended. A tough coin to find in any decent grade, AU examples are very scarce. This coin, with its deep original toning over brilliant luster, barely missed an UNC grade.
    Coin can be seen on the PCGS website, so authenticity of the holder can be verified:
