[QUOTE="acanthite, post: 555350, member: 6647"]Thanks everyone for your comments and nominations. As noted by Eduard there are places in Lima to buy coins in the market, though for colonial coinage there are many fakes. There are also pickpockets. There was a good writeup for provisional coinage during the war, and the phases immediately following independence. I did not see anything relating to coinage by Sr. Derteano. And there was a good display of coinage during the economic upheavals of the War of the Pacific, which brought about the denomination called 'Inca'. It has a great obverse bust. No, during the time of the 9th Inca ruler (Pachacutec), barter was the method of exchange. Gold and silver were not viewed as having monetary value. I did take some more pictures of die punches. These two are of the columns on the reverse of the portrait type colonial 8 reales. The second picture is an example of the coin type it was used for.
