Interesting fact
The 8 Scudos coin from Bolivia, minted between 1852 and 1857, is interesting because it was one of the first coins to use the Scudo currency, which was introduced by the government of Bolivia in 1851 to replace the previous currency, the Bolivian peso. The Scudo was divided into 100 centavos, and the 8 Scudos coin was equivalent to 800 centavos. This coin was also unique because it was made of gold (.875) and weighed 27 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
