Comment

In 1868, 150 years ago, one of the most important monetary laws of Spain was promulgated, at which time the Peseta was introduced as a single monetary unit, causing the disappearance of the Escudos as a means of official payment. Commemorating the fact of the disappearance of the Escudos, the Royal Mint issued in 2018 four gold coins with different metrics: one, two, four and eight Escudos. The collection consists of four gold coins minted in proof quality, which represent faithful reproductions of the coins of the time, including their technical specifications, with the exception of minor modifications, such as the year of issue, the nominal value of the coin and the mark of the mint.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Escudo of Ferdinand VI minted in 1759 is that it was originally minted as a means of promoting the image of the Spanish monarchy and its power, particularly during a time of political and economic instability in the country. The coin's design features an image of Ferdinand VI on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the strength and authority of the Spanish crown. Despite its historical significance, the coin was not widely circulated and was primarily used as a collector's item, making it a rare and valuable piece for numismatists today.
