1880 5 Peseta (1880-1882) Peru:

37mm, 25g, .900

Interestingly both the Peruvian 5 Pesetas and Peruvian 1 Sol were being minted concurrently and were of equal value, size, weight and purity. The War of the Pacific (1879-1884 Chile v. Peru) was being fought and Peru's economy was in the tank. Dictator Nicolás de Piérola tried to rebrand the monetary system with a new short lived unit called the Inca. One Inca was equal to 5 Pesetas (as well as 1 Sol).

The Inca was to be a gold coin but only ever issued as paper money making the silver 5 Pesetas the highest denomination coin minted under this system.

Coins of the first Cuban republic:
All shown were minted at the Philadelphia Mint (except the 1897 peso)
___________________________
1897 "Souvenir” Peso (type 3):
Mintage 4856
36mm dia, 22.5g, .900

These coins were minted to raise funds for the Cubans fighting for independence from Spain.
As we had diplomatic relations with Spain, we could not be seen as supporting the revolutionaries. For plausible deniability, these coins were struck at the Gorham Manufacturing Company, Providence R.I. instead of the Philadelphia mint, as well as being marked “Souvenir” rather than “Peso”  
Bonus fact, Gorham also made the flatware and tea service for Mary Todd Lincoln for the Lincoln White House. 
In 1898, a year after these coins were minted, the USS Maine exploded in Havana Harbor.
With Spain being blamed and the US declaring war, there was no further need to feign neutrality.  In 1898 a run of 1000 coins were minted with the word “Peso” in place of “Souvenir” Thus began the US mintage of Cuban coinage up through 1960 (or 61?).
