Comment
Different mint varieties are considered different coins due to the way they were made, they were often made on top of other coins, and also were copies rather than shared dies, made by Loyalists.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Escudos coin from New Spain (Mexico) is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinand VII, who was the last Spanish monarch to rule over the colonies in the Americas. The coin was minted in 1814, just a few years before Mexico gained its independence from Spain in 1821. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history that serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Mexico and its connection to the Spanish Empire.
