½ Real - Ferdinand VII Royalist Coinage

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Mexico. The Royalist Coinage was issued by the Spanish Crown during the Mexican War of Independence, which lasted from 1810 to 1821. The coin features an image of Ferdinand VII, who was the King of Spain at the time, and was minted in the municipality of Sombrerete in the state of Zacatecas. Despite the turmoil, the coin was made with a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail, as evidenced by its silver content of .903. This coin is a unique piece of history that serves as a reminder of the complex and often tumultuous history of Mexico.
