Interesting fact
The 1 Escudo coin from New Spain (Mexico) made of Gold (.917) weighing 3.4 g during Philip V's reign (1702-1714) is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time when Spain's colonies in the Americas were thriving, and the coin's design reflects the rich cultural heritage of the region. The obverse side of the coin features an image of Philip V, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of New Spain, which includes a shield with the symbols of the kingdoms of Castile, León, and Aragon, surrounded by the motto "Plus ultra," meaning "further beyond" in Latin. This coin is a tangible piece of history that connects us to the past and serves as a reminder of the complex and rich cultural exchange that occurred between Spain and its colonies in the Americas during that time.
