Carlos III's monetary reforms of 1772 standardized the milled coinage across Spanish colonial mints, and Lima was among the first to fully comply — producing a consistent series of gold escudos that supplied both local commerce and transatlantic remittances to the Crown. The Lima mint's assayer initials during this window were MI (Miguel de Sanabria and Ignacio de Aperrequi jointly responsible), a pairing that changed partway through the run and makes assayer attribution a useful tool for dating individual pieces more precisely than the broad range suggests.
