PERU. Fernando VII, 1808-1833. 8 Reales 1811 JP, Lima. KM 106.2. AR. 26.31 g. AU
Rare type with a very imaginary bust. It should be noted that in 1811 the war in Spain raged and the legitimate king, Ferdinand VII, was under house arrest in Valencay. Although Joseph Bonaparte has been proclaimed king, a number of factions still claimed to be Bourbons and the authority of the emperor's brother was not exercised in the Spanish colonies.
