Interesting fact
The 8 Escudos coin from Mexico, issued between 1824 and 1873, is interesting because it was one of the few coins in circulation at the time that was made of gold (.875). Additionally, it weighed 27.07 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin of its size and denomination. This coin was also unique because it was issued during a time when Mexico was under Spanish rule, and it features the Spanish monarch's image on one side and the Mexican coat of arms on the other.
