Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Escudos coin from Republic of North Peru is that it was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in the country. The Republic of North Peru was established in 1836, and the coin was minted the following year, in 1837. The coin's mintage was likely a symbol of the new government's efforts to establish a stable economy and currency, despite the challenges it faced.
