Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Escudos 1836-1837 coin from Chile is that it was minted during a time of economic and political instability in the country. The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system aimed at stabilizing the economy and replacing the previous currency, which had been devalued due to excessive printing. Despite the challenges faced by the Chilean government at the time, the 4 Escudos coin was well-received and widely used, and it remains a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
