Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Escudos coin from Chile is that it was minted during a time of political and economic change in the country. The coin was introduced in 1818, just a few years after Chile gained independence from Spain, and it was used as a standard circulation coin until 1834. During this time, Chile was undergoing significant political and economic reforms, including the establishment of a new government and the development of a new currency system. Despite these changes, the 8 Escudos coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency, and it continues to be a valuable collector's item to this day.
