THIS COIN'S PLACE IN HISTORY
1824/3-T Spanish Colonial silver 8 reales coin, struck at the royal mint in Cuzco Peru during the last year of King Ferdinand VII's (1808-1833) control over the South American colonies. When General Canterac's Royalist troops were ousted from Lima by rebel forces, he ordered that most of the minting tools from Lima be hurriedly moved up to the Andean capital of Cuzco. A crude mint started issuing it's first Colonial 8 reales in 1824 under assayer "T".
