| Aanvullende informatie |
Peru's gold coinage of this period was produced at the Lima mint under conditions of chronic political instability — the country cycled through dozens of governments between independence in 1821 and the mid-1850s, and mint administration changed hands accordingly. The 4 Escudos denomination itself was a holdover from the colonial monetary system, retained largely because the existing dies, weights, and trade relationships demanded continuity rather than rupture.
The series was rendered obsolete by Peru's 1863 monetary reform, which replaced the escudo system entirely with the decimal peso.
