Interesting fact
The 1 Escudo 1838 coin from the Republic of North Peru is interesting because it was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in the country. The Republic of North Peru was established in 1836, and the coin was minted in 1838, just two years later. Despite the challenges facing the new republic, the coin's gold content and intricate design demonstrate the country's commitment to establishing a stable and prosperous economy.
