Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Escudos coin from Peru is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. The coin was introduced in 1828, just a few years after Peru had gained independence from Spain, and it was used as a standard circulation coin until 1855. During this time, Peru was facing economic and political challenges, including inflation, political instability, and conflicts with neighboring countries. Despite these challenges, the 4 Escudos coin remained a popular and trusted form of currency, and it continues to be a sought-after collector's item today.
