Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Escudos - Charles IV coin from Chile is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles IV, who was the King of Spain from 1788 to 1808. During this time, Chile was still a Spanish colony, and the coin was used as a form of currency throughout the colony. However, in 1810, a government junta was established in Chile, which marked the beginning of the country's transition towards independence from Spain. This coin, therefore, represents a unique moment in Chile's history, as it was minted during a time of transition and change.
