Last battle which saw the ultimate defeat of the Spanish army, and cemented the independence of Peru from Spain. It was struck 1924 under the administration of Augusto. B Leguia, then president of Peru. I do not think its is rare, but certainly historical.   08-22-2009, 11:40 AM   #3 (permalink) jello Numismatist     Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Alabama Posts: 3,525 My Mood: They also made 1866-1966 com coin of the sea battle .must were spent as 20 Sol to fine one Gem Bu is rare.
