Additional information

Issued to mark the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Ayacucho — fought December 9, 1824 — which ended Spanish colonial rule in South America. The engagement was decisive enough that the royalist commander, Viceroy La Serna, was wounded and captured on the field. Peru's military commemorative program of the mid-1970s was conducted under the government of General Francisco Morales Bermúdez, who had himself come to power through a coup the previous year.
