Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Escudos - Charles III 1773-1789 coin from Chile is that it was minted during the reign of King Charles III of Spain, who was also known as Charles III of Bourbon. He was the king of Spain and its colonies from 1759 until his death in 1788, and his reign saw significant changes in the Spanish Empire, including the establishment of the Viceroyalty of Río de la Plata, which encompassed much of South America, including Chile. The coin's design features an image of the king on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the connection between Chile and the Spanish crown.
