| 背面描述 | A standing allegorical female figure of Liberty occupies the central field, depicted in classical robes and wearing a crested helmet; she holds a long staff or spear in her right hand and rests her left hand upon a rectangular tablet inscribed LIBERTAD. The figure stands on a raised ground line. The encircling legend FIRME Y FELIZ POR LA UNION runs along the periphery in raised Latin letters separated by a pellet at the base, referencing Peru's republican motto of strength and happiness through union. |

Peru's early republican gold coinage was struck at the Lima mint under conditions of persistent institutional instability — the Casa Nacional de Moneda changed administrative oversight multiple times between independence in 1821 and the mid-1850s, and quality control suffered accordingly. Dies were often reused well past their serviceable life, producing pieces with mushy detail that is intrinsic to the type rather than a product of circulation.
The series ended when Peru decimalized in 1863, but production had effectively wound down in the mid-1850s as silver-denominated coinage absorbed most domestic transaction demand. Gold escudos of this period rarely saw heavy pocket wear for that reason.
