| Aanvullende informatie |
The Republic of South Peru existed for barely two years, formed in 1836 when Bolivian president Andrés de Santa Cruz imposed his Peru-Bolivian Confederation by force and split Peru into two constituent republics. This gold issue is among the few hard-money artifacts of that short-lived political experiment. Santa Cruz was driven out in 1839 following Chilean military intervention at the Battle of Yungay, dissolving the Confederation and rendering this issuing authority extinct.
Surviving examples in any condition are genuinely scarce — the political instability ensured limited striking windows at the Cuzco mint.
