I need help with more information about this coin [solved]

I do know that it is a Peru Coin dated 1856, it's hard to see but we used a magnifying glass.  I can't seem to find it online anywhere.  On the back at the end of the writing the initials are Y j.  I am so new to this so I have no idea what I have here.  If anyone can help I would really appreciate it!!  Thanks!

Looks like a fake of this coin to me N#9096 , with what you have provided at information not much more will be able to be deduced I am afraid (see forum policy).

Im so sorry if I didn't follow the policy correctly, I have no clue what I am doing! 

Thank you for your help, it is deeply appreciated l.

The problem is without any information on the size weight etc there is only so much one can get from a picture.

You can't find it online because that coin with an 1856 date doesn't exist.  Unless it is a counterfeit (doubtful they would use an 1856 date) you've read the date wrong. This coin was made from 1864 to 1916. The YJ version from 1870 to 1880. 

I understand about the limited information.  Also, the date may very well be wrong. This coin is very hard to read and it may say 1876 but I just can't be sure so I do know it has all the writing on it like the coin we have discussed. 

It is probably a fake, that would be my luck but, I am still hopeful.  Thank you for the dates you provided, that will be very helpful. 

I plan on taking it to a coin dealer / expert in Des Moines to see if he can get the correct date then we can get the weight and other information. I'm very new to this so thank you both so much for all your help!!

Looks absolutely genuine to my eye although clearly heavily circulated and harshly cleaned. Everything appears right, I am also seeing 18-4 (YJ). By default, due to the YJ I am assuming a 7, so 1874. As previously mentioned, weight in grams and diameter in MM could verify authenticity. 

Good luck with it.

That is a seven, so 1874YJ it is.
