Comments

Marks of Peruvian engravers (Lima Mint):
T.F. - Juan Torrico y Mesa & José Agustín Figueroa
F.G. - Francisco Gamarra

Philadelphia Mint changed the mintmark but, supposedly, didn't notice that the initials T.F. belong to Peruvian engravers. And so all the coins minted in Philadelphia have these initials.

Error REPUBLIGA (1889, Santiago Mint)
