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 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 likely minted in an attempt to maintain control over the region. Despite the turmoil, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a reminder of the complex political landscape of the time.
