Comment
Mint mark as Z, ZS or Zs.Interesting fact
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 in an attempt to maintain control over the territory, which was facing opposition from insurgent groups fighting for independence. Despite the political tensions, the coin still features the image of Ferdinand VII, the Spanish King at the time, signifying the loyalty of the State of Zacatecas to the Spanish Crown.
