Interesting fact
The 4 Escudos coin from Bolivia, minted during the reign of Charles III (1778-1788), is a rare and valuable coin that collectors highly seek after. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted using the "cob" method, where the coin's design was stamped onto a irregularly shaped piece of gold, resulting in a unique and distinctive look for each coin. This method was commonly used in the 18th century, and it adds to the coin's historical charm and character.
