Interesting fact
The Pattern 8 Escudos ND (1819) from Chile made of Copper is a rare and unique coin that was minted during the early years of Chile's independence. It's interesting to note that this coin was part of a series of pattern coins that were minted in the 1810s and 1820s, which were intended to be used as a new currency for Chile, but ultimately were not adopted for circulation. This particular coin is made of copper and features a design that includes the Chilean coat of arms and the denomination "8 Escudos" on one side, and a wreath surrounding the date "1819" on the other. Its rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
