Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Escudos coin from Chile is that it was minted during the reign of King Ferdinand VI, who was the King of Spain from 1746 until his death in 1759. The coin features a second bust of the king, which was used on coins minted during the later years of his reign. The use of a second bust was a common practice during this time period, as it allowed the mint to continue producing coins with the king's image without having to create a new die every time a new coin was minted. This coin is made of gold (.917) and weighs 27.073 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
