Comment
KM147.3 minted in CuzcoInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Escudo coin from Peru is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. The coin was introduced in 1826, just a few years after Peru declared its independence from Spain, and it was used as a standard circulation coin until 1855. During this time, Peru was undergoing significant political and economic changes, including the establishment of a new government and the development of a new economy. Despite these challenges, the 1 Escudo coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and it continues to be a valuable collector's item to this day.
