Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Escudos coin from Costa Rica is that it was minted during a time of political and economic change in the region. The Federal Republic of Central America, which consisted of Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador, was established in 1821 and lasted until 1838. During this time, the region was facing economic challenges and political instability, which led to the minting of coins like the 2 Escudos to help stabilize the economy. Despite the challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a symbol of the region's rich cultural heritage.
