Brazil (Rio mint), 960 reis, Pedro I, 1824-R, struck over a Lima, Peru, bust 8 reales, Ferdinand VII, 1823 JP, struck over a Lima, Peru, "Peru Libre" 8 reales, 1822 JP, extremely rare, NGC AU details / cleaned. Levy-RP1; LMB-505; KM-368.1. An historically important coin for Brazilians and Peruvians alike, particularly relating to the Peruvian war for independence, as it shows adoption by three different governments in three separate years: Originally it was struck by Independent Peru in Lima in 1822; then it was overstruck with Spanish colonial dies in 1823 within the one month (June) that the royalists had control of Lima, after which they took the minting equipment to Cuzco for striking coins in 1824 and remained in Peru until 1826. Finally, it was overstruck by the Empire of Brazil in 1824, apparently only the second example reported with this tripartite emission (Levy says only one known and probably not this one). Details of all three issues are discernible, with light rainbow over surfaces that NGC has determined were cleaned at some point, also with small void in edge (as made).
