An Eight Peruvian Real coin minted in 1835
The real was the currency of Peru until 1863. Sixteen silver reales equaled one gold escudo. Initially, the Spanish colonial real circulated. This was replaced by Peruvian currency following liberation in 1826, although the first issues of the Peruvian Republic were made in 1822. The real was replaced by the sol at a rate of 1 sol = 8 reales.
