Interesting fact
The 1 Escudo 1868 coin from Bolivia made of Gold (.900) weighing 2.5 g is interesting because it was minted during a time when Bolivia was still a young country, having gained independence from Spain just 22 years prior. The coin's design features the Bolivian coat of arms, which includes a condor, a symbol of power and strength, and a llama, a symbol of the country's rich cultural heritage. The coin's gold content and weight also make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists.
