<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 1432789, member: 8959&quot;]I am afraid the information is scant. Probably more information is available among specialized collectors of peruvian issues, but I have not found it either.</p><p>&nbsp;What I can tell you is that Dionisio Derteano was the mint director around that time, and he essentially handled the peruvian national treasury as his own piggy bank. Besides illegally printing paper money, another of the illegal things he did was to imprint his name (as in your coin and mine) on some of the 1864 dated soles and 1/2 soles. Some have only the initials D.D on the denticles, other have the full word on the coins falling from the cornucopia. These are scarce coins, but the interest in them outside of South America (Peru) is probably quite low. Please do post a picture of your coin if you can.</p><p><br /></p><p>Eduard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
