Interesting fact
The Pattern 8 Escudos ND (1835) from Chile made of Brass is interesting because it was minted during a time of political and economic change in Chile. The coin was issued during the presidency of Joaquín Prieto, who was a strong advocate for the establishment of a national currency and the promotion of trade and commerce. The brass used in the coin's minting was likely sourced from the Andes Mountains, which was a significant source of mineral resources for Chile during this time period. This coin is a unique piece of history that highlights Chile's efforts to establish a strong economy and national identity during the 19th century.
