| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central shield displays the Peruvian coat of arms, featuring a vicuña, a cinchona tree, and a cornucopia within a divided escutcheon, flanked by two national flags on either side and surmounted by a laurel wreath. The circular legend reads REPUB PERUANA around the upper portion of the field, with mint mark, denomination (2E), assayer initials, and fineness indicators positioned around the shield. The date appears in the lower exergue. The overall design is characteristic of the early republican milled gold coinage of Peru. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Peru's early republican gold coinage was minted simultaneously at Lima and Cuzco during this period, and the two mints produced coins of noticeably inconsistent quality — Cuzco pieces in particular are frequently found with uneven surfaces and irregular planchets, a product of that facility's more primitive equipment and less experienced workforce. The distinction matters for collectors because the mint mark is the primary differentiator between otherwise identical types.
The 1828 start date coincides with the formal consolidation of Peruvian monetary authority following the chaos of the independence wars, during which Spanish colonial minting infrastructure had been intermittently seized, abandoned, and restarted.
