Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Escudos coin from New Spain (Mexico) is that it was minted during the reign of Charles IV, who was the last Spanish monarch to rule over the Spanish Empire. This coin was minted in 1792, just a few years before the Mexican War of Independence, which began in 1810 and led to Mexico gaining its independence from Spain in 1821. This coin is a piece of history that connects us to the rich cultural heritage of Mexico and the Spanish Empire.
