| Additional information |
The phrase "In Hoc Signo Vinces" — "In this sign you will conquer" — derives from Constantine's vision before the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312 AD, though its appearance on a Peruvian token coinage in 1910 reflects the Catholic Church's persistent role in Andean civic life rather than any imperial pretension. KM#Tn1 classifies this as a token issue, meaning it circulated outside official government authority, likely issued by a private religious or commercial entity to fill small-denomination gaps that the Lima mint was chronically slow to address in the early twentieth century.
