[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 553151, member: 8959"]Acanthite, Thank you very much for this excellent description of the exhibits at la Casa de Moneda Y Museo Numismatico del Peru. I remember visiting the museum as a child....My mother was friends with a Senor de Aliaga who was one of the founders of the museum, and he took as around. It is probably much more expanded today. Amazing that picture of the cuno (Punch) for the coinage of Fernando VII. The Santiago, Chile mint, just like Mexico and Lima also had their own "Imaginary" rendition of what the monarch looked like. Did you see any any exhibits relating to the coinage emitted during the War of Independence? or during the War the Pacific? That must be very interesting. Also, any of the adulterated coinage associated with Dionisio Derteano, mint Director (1864) who more or less minted coins for his own use and bearing his own initials, courtesy of the peruvian state. Thanks again for this excellent post! regards, Eduard PS- if you are still in Lima, you may want to seek out the street vendors selling coins off a side street in the center of town. If you are into Peruvian food (the best in Latin America) you may want to try the following: La Rana Verde, Manos Morenas, El Catamaran, Costa Verde (pricey). You won't regret it![/QUOTE]
