Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Escudos coin from Chile is that it was minted during the reign of Charles IV of Spain, who was also known as Charles III of Spain, and features a bust of him on one side. Despite being minted in Chile, the coin features the Spanish king's image, highlighting the colonial relationship between Chile and Spain at the time.
