Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Escudos - Ferdinand VI 1746-1756 coin from Colombia is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of King Ferdinand VI, who ruled Spain and its colonies from 1746 to 1756. During this period, Colombia was still a Spanish colony, and the coin was used as a means of exchange and commerce. The fact that it was made of gold (.917) and weighed 13.5337 grams suggests that it was a valuable and significant coin at the time.
