You could also ask what country it was minted in rather than where it was minted for.

@keith, thanks for the correction on the date range.

@greasy, according to my Craig catalog, Argentina and Ecuador are already ruled out by the date range, but maybe I've missed something... that's happened before

RECAP:

Not minted before 1775
Minted before 1800
From Peru
A newly minted coin would weigh less than 20 grams.

Is it me, or was Peru a freebie?

Is its value less than an Escudo?
