背面描述	The reverse is that of the Peruvian host coin, featuring the arms of the Republic of Peru at centre: a quartered shield displaying a vicuna at upper left, a cinchona tree at upper right, and a cornucopia at base, surmounted by a civic crown and flanked by palm and laurel branches tied at the base. The circular legend reads REPUB. PERUANA with the date 1830 in the lower exergue, all within a beaded border.

附加信息	In the early 1830s, El Salvador faced a chronic shortage of reliable coinage as the Central American Federation began fracturing. Rather than strike original coin, Salvadoran authorities applied a countermark to existing 2 Reales pieces — primarily Guatemalan and Mexican issues already in circulation — to authenticate and officially sanction them for domestic use. The Type II punch is distinct from the earlier Type I, though attribution of individual pieces to one type or the other depends heavily on the specific host coin and the placement and sharpness of the applied mark. Host coin condition governs everything here. The countermark itself is often the cleaner element.
