| Additional information |
Peru and Japan formalized a bilateral cooperation agreement in 1973, and this commemorative was struck specifically to mark the occasion. Japanese immigration to Peru had begun in 1899, and by the early 1970s the Nikkei-Peruvian community numbered well over 50,000 — one of the largest Japanese diaspora populations in Latin America.
The .800 fineness is characteristic of Peruvian commemorative silver of this period, a step below sterling but consistent across the BCR's output through the decade.
