Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Escudo - Ferdinand VII 1814-1821 coin from Peru is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of King Ferdinand VII, who ruled Spain and its colonies from 1808 to 1833. During this time, Peru was still a Spanish colony, and the coin was minted as a way to promote trade and commerce within the colony and with other Spanish territories. The coin's gold content and intricate design made it a valuable and highly sought-after currency, and it remains a popular collector's item to this day.
