Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Escudos - Ferdinand VI 1757-1759 coin from New Spain (Mexico) is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the region. The coin was minted in 1757, just a few years before the Mexican War of Independence began in 1810, which would ultimately lead to Mexico gaining its independence from Spain in 1821. This coin is a tangible reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Mexico, and its minting during a time of significant political and social upheaval makes it all the more fascinating.
