Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Escudos - Ferdinand VI 1757 coin from Guatemala is that it was minted during the reign of King Ferdinand VI of Spain, who ruled from 1746 to 1759. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, known as the "Ferdinandino" series, which featured the king's portrait on one side and the coat of arms of Spain on the other. The 8 Escudos coin was the highest denomination in the series and was minted in limited quantities, making it a rare and valuable collector's item today.
