peso de oro
Originally (now historical): any of various coins, either gold ( peso de oro) or silver ( peso de plata), current in Spanish territories from the 16th to the 19th centuries; (in later use) a banknote of the value of such a coin. Now: the basic monetary unit in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Uruguay, and the Philippines; a coin or banknote of this value.Peso is frequently used to designate the piece of eight (cf. piece of eight n. at piece n. 16b), also known at various times as the Spanish or Mexican dollar, which was divided into eight reales (see real n.3) and which circulated extremely widely through the Americas and the Far East from the 16th to the 19th centuries.
