| Additional information |
Peru's 2021 bicentennial program generated a substantial series of commemorative issues, of which this Sol forms part. The proclamation itself occurred on July 28, 1821, when José de San Martín declared independence in Lima — notably before Spanish forces had been fully expelled from the country. Actual military consolidation wouldn't come until Ayacucho in 1824.
The .925 fineness places this outside Peru's earlier commemorative silver standards, which frequently used .900.
