Comment
Half cut of Carlos III 8 RealesInteresting fact
The 6 Escalins coin from Saint Lucia, minted in 1798, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of silver, which was a rare and valuable metal at the time. The use of silver in coinage was a symbol of the island's wealth and prosperity, and it highlights the importance of Saint Lucia as a significant economic player in the Caribbean region during the late 18th century.
