Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Escudo - Ferdinand VII 1822-1824 coin from Bolivia is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of King Ferdinand VII, who ruled Spain and its colonies, including Bolivia, from 1808 to 1833. However, the coin was minted in 1822, just a few years before Bolivia declared its independence from Spain in 1825. This means that the coin was minted during a period of transition and change in Bolivia's history, making it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
