Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Escudos - Ferdinand VII 1822-1824 coin from Bolivia is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the country. Bolivia had gained independence from Spain in 1825, and Ferdinand VII was the first king of the newly independent country. However, his rule was marked by conflicts with the indigenous population and the Spanish colonial elite, which led to his eventual overthrow in 1828. Despite this tumultuous period in Bolivian history, the 8 Escudos coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
