One interesting fact about the 1 Escudo coin from New Spain (Mexico) made of Gold (.917) weighing 3.3834 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Philip V of Spain, who ruled from 1700 to 1746. This coin was minted specifically during his fifth regal year, which was from 1714 to 1715. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history, especially for numismatists who collect coins from the Spanish colonial period in the Americas.
