Lima, Peru, bust 8 reales, Ferdinand VII transitional (large "imaginary" bust), king's name as FERDND, 1808 JP, rare, NGC XF 40. Cal-1238; KM-106.1. Attractively toned, no issues within the grade but the obverse slightly off-center. In 1808-9 the Lima mint used an oversized imaginary bust (clearly indigenous in design) combined with an abbreviation of the new king's name as FERDND, replaced in 1809 with a smaller (but still indigenous) bust and proper abbreviation FERDIN. The 1808 date is much rarer than 1809.
