Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Escudos 1845 coin from La Rioja (Argentine provinces) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Argentina. The country was facing high inflation and political instability, which led to the adoption of a new currency, the "Gold Standard," in 1845. The 8 Escudos coin was part of this new currency system and was made of gold to promote stability and confidence in the economy. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
