Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Escudos 1842 coin from La Rioja (Argentine provinces) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Argentina. The country was facing high inflation and political instability, which led to the adoption of a new currency, the peso, in 1854. Despite these challenges, the 2 Escudos coin remained in circulation and is now a sought-after collector's item.
