Lima, Peru, May 14, 1823, treasury and mint accounting document titled “Moneda de Cobre,” black print with manuscript completion, featuring the seal of the Casa de Moneda Independiente at top center.

San Martin was incorporating the mint into the independent government and appointing as the first Director General the Italian Don José de Boqui y Giboli, who was an agent and spy at the service of the patriot cause. The wars of independence caused serious damage to the Mint on two occasions when, in 1823 and 1824, when royalist troops from the Andes retook Lima and deprived the mint of its transportable tools.
