🌎 1799 Peru 8 Reales – The World’s Trade Coin 🌎
The Spanish 8 Reales, often called a “Piece of Eight,” was the coin that fueled global trade in the 18th and 19th centuries. Struck in Lima, Peru in 1799, this silver coin circulated across the Americas, Europe, and Asia—becoming the foundation for many modern currencies, including the U.S. dollar.
This example, graded MS65, shows crisp detail and outstanding preservation for a coin that’s over two centuries old. The bust of King Charles IV connects us directly to the Spanish colonial empire and the worldwide flow of silver from the New World.
