Commentary
C'est la dernière année de frappe pour la pièce de 8 escudos. Ce type ne fut frappé que pendant deux ans en 1862-1863. Une réforme monétaire introduisit la décimalisation en 1863 avec une nouvelle parité : 100 centavos = 10 dineros = 1 sol. La pièce d'or de 10 soles prend le nom de libra.
This was the last year of minting for the 8 escudo coin. This type was only minted for two years, in 1862-1863. A monetary reform introduced decimalization in 1863 with a new parity: 100 centavos = 10 dineros = 1 sol. The 10-soles gold coin took the name libra
