I have a silver coin, smaller than a dime, that I have no idea what it is. The obverse has what looks like a lady standing with a staff, and the words "FIRME Y FELIZ" on the left and "POR LA UNION" on the right. The reverse has some type of shield with a wreath on top, the date 1855 on bottom, and the words "PERUANA M M 20G M R" around the edge. Any ideas? Thanks. Sorry, dont have a camera.
 

1855 half real from Peru. Inscriptions mean "Steady & Happy" and "For the Union." The M R should be M B; not sure, but I believe they're the mintmaster's initials.
