| Beschrijving keerzijde | A turreted castle of three towers, representing the Kingdom of Castile, is prominently displayed in the central field in heraldic style. The castle features two flanking towers and a central keep with battlements, rendered in bold relief. To either side of the castle appear fractional value indicators, with the denomination characters flanking the design. The date appears in the exergue below the castle, reading '1818', flanked by pellets. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lima's quarter real occupied a peculiar position in colonial commerce: too small for most transactions, it functioned primarily as change in markets where fractional accounting mattered more than purchasing power. Fernando VII never set foot in the Americas, spending the period of this coin's entire production run first as Napoleon's prisoner at Valençay, then as an increasingly despotic constitutional antagonist back in Madrid. The Lima mint continued striking in his name even as royalist control of Peru itself collapsed around it.
Production continued through 1823 — two years after Peruvian independence had been declared.
