This elegant Gold coin recreates the classic 1 Escudo struck in 1780 at the Mexico City Mint, issued under the reign of King Charles III after the major monetary reform of 1771. That reform unified coinage types across the Spanish Empire, introducing standardized portrait designs and modernizing mint practices in the New World. Struck in superb Proof quality, this piece is part of the Joyas del Museo Casa de la Moneda series and honors an original gold escudo preserved in the Spanish Mint Museum. With a face value of 50 Euros, it stands as a refined tribute to one of the most iconic colonial gold coins of the late 18th century.
