Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Escudos - Charles III 1765-1770 coin from Guatemala is that it was minted during the reign of King Charles III of Spain, who was also known as Charles III of Bourbon. He was the King of Spain and the Spanish Indies from 1759 until his death in 1788, and he played a significant role in shaping the political and economic landscape of the Spanish Empire during his reign. The coin's design and mintage were likely overseen by the Spanish Royal Mint, and its production was likely a significant event in the economic and financial history of Guatemala and the Spanish Indies during that time.
