Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Escudos - Charles III 1761-1762 coin from Peru 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 the Spanish Indies from 1759 to 1788, and he played a significant role in shaping the Spanish Empire. The coin's design, which features an image of the king on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other, reflects the influence of Spanish culture and rule in Peru during that time.
