Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Escudo - Ferdinand VII 1809-1811 coin from Peru is that it was minted during the brief period of Spanish rule in Peru, which lasted from 1809 to 1811. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during this period, which were designed to replace the previously used Spanish colonial coins. The coin features an image of Ferdinand VII, the King of Spain, on one side, and the Peruvian coat of arms on the other. It is made of gold (.875) and weighs 3.3834 grams. Despite its historical significance, the coin is not particularly rare or valuable, and is considered a common issue among collectors.
