Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Escudos coin from New Spain (Mexico) is that it was minted during the reign of Charles III, who was the last Spanish king to rule over the Spanish colonies in the Americas.

The coin's design features an image of Charles III on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other. It was made of gold (.917) and weighed 27.07 grams, making it a valuable and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
