Issued by decree of 2 October 1832, commencing 5 October 1832 until 20 December 1834. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1833-LIMA MM Peru Republic 8 Reales. One of the more commonly encountered dates from this mint, we have only two documented examples that bear the 5-4-!(2)-B crown variety, the present piece being the finer of the two. The countermark is bold, though part of the king's cipher is slightly obscured, on a nicely preserved host. Close inspection reveals evidence of a past cleaning, long since toned over and attractive. Despite its shortcomings this wholesome looking survivor is presentable and offers a pleasing appearance sure to add depth to the next collection it enters.
