Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Escudos coin from Guatemala is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the Federal Republic of Central America. The coin was issued in 1824-1825, a period when the region was struggling to establish a stable government after gaining independence from Spain. Despite the challenges, the coin still holds significant historical and numismatic value, making it a prized collector's item for those interested in Central American history and currency.
