Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Escudos coin from New Spain (Mexico) is that it was minted during the reign of Charles IV, who was the last Spanish monarch to rule over the Spanish colonies in the Americas. The coin was minted in 1791, just a few years before Mexico gained its independence from Spain in 1821. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history that serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Mexico and its connection to the Spanish crown.
