Owner Comments:

First year of portrait coinage from the Lima mint. After neglecting my collection of Peru 8 reales for several years, I saw this attractive example in the Stack's Bowers January 2019 NYINC auction. From the catalog:

"Premium quality for the grade, with a nice strike, few marks and overlying olive brown tone on both sides that is attractive and entirely original."
