Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Escudos - Charles IV 1789-1791 coin from Peru is that it was minted during the reign of Charles IV, who was the last Spanish monarch to rule over the Spanish colonies in America. This coin was minted in the Lima Mint, which was established in 1565 and was the first mint to produce coins in the Americas. The coin's design features an image of Charles IV on one side and the coat of arms of Spain on the other, symbolizing the Spanish monarchy's influence and control over the region.
