1 gen 1650 anni - 1650:
The silver content of coins from the Peruvian
mint are discovered to have not met
standards of the Spanish Dollar. This is a
major scandal that harms the reputation
of the Spanish Dollar
In 1650, a declaration is issued to deny the Peruvian
coins status as currency, and they are to be
minted again in Spain.
The debased Peruvian coins, however, continue
to be widely circulated in the Americas. The
debased coins are often used for fraud.
