Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Escudos - Ferdinand VI (first bust of Ferdinand VI, Inverted Fleece) 1750-1758 from Chile is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of King Ferdinand VI, who ruled from 1746 to 1759. During his reign, Chile experienced significant political and economic changes, including the establishment of the first national mint in 1750, which was responsible for producing this coin. Additionally, the coin's design features the first bust of Ferdinand VI, which was a departure from the traditional depiction of the king on Chilean coins, and the inverted fleece symbol, which was a new addition to the coin's design. These changes reflect the evolving political and cultural landscape of Chile during this time period.
