Comment
Existence of year 1808 (for both mints) is not confirmed by Colombian national catalog by P.P.HernándezInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Escudo - Charles IV 1792-1808 coin from Colombia is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles IV, who was the King of Spain from 1788 to 1808. During his reign, there was a growing movement for independence in Colombia, which eventually led to the country's declaration of independence from Spain in 1810. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history and cultural heritage of Colombia during this time period.
