elf Peru Spanish 8 Reales 1783 LIMAE MI Treaty of Paris American Revolution:
$125.00

KM 78, 13 year type, issued while the area was under Spanish control, in the year that the Treaty of Paris was signed (involving Great Britain, the United States, France, Spain and The Netherlands), which ended the American Revolution. Silver crown, with the King of Spain on the obverse.

The mintmark is a monogram of the letters LIMAE.

Like all other Spanish colonial silver, this coin was legal tender in the United States until 1857. The Spanish 8 reales was the basis for the U.S. dollar. A real was also called a \"bit\" (especially when a coin was cut to make change); this is why a U. S. quarter dollar is sometimes called \"two bits\".

The coin has several chopmarks, which testify to its use in commerce in China.
