Commentary
Il s’agit de la première utilisation de l’iconographie du soleil républicain sur les monnaies et exonumia péruviennes. José de San Martín était un général argentin qui mena le mouvement d’indépendance de l’Argentine, du Chili et du Pérou contre l’Espagne. Il participa à de nombreuses batailles, ce qui le conduisit finalement à attaquer Lima, place forte espagnole. Il prit partiellement le contrôle de la ville le 12 juillet 1821. San Martin fut déclaré protecteur du Pérou et une déclaration d'indépendance fut publiée le 28 juillet 1821.
This is the first use of the iconography of the Republican sun on Peruvian coins and exonumia.
