Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Escudos - Ferdinand VI (Colonial Milled Coinage) 1754-1760 from Peru is that it was minted during a time of great change in the region. The coin was produced during the reign of Ferdinand VI of Spain, who ruled from 1746 to 1759. During his reign, the Spanish Empire began to decline, and the colonies in South America, including Peru, began to gain more autonomy. This coin is a symbol of that transitional period, as it was minted in Peru but still bears the image of the Spanish monarch. Additionally, the fact that it was made of gold and has a relatively high weight of 27.0674 grams makes it a valuable and unique piece of numismatic history.
