This coin features the ''imaginary bust'' of Ferdinand VII because Napoleon Bonaparte forced the young Spanish king from the throne in 1808. Colonial mints like Lima had not yet received actual portraits of the new king, so engravers created an idealized or ''imaginary'' portrait on the coinage until official likenesses arrived
