Comment
This Ten Reales piece was minted by the Canton of Cartagena, a territory that remained independent during the Cantonal Revolution (1873-1874), which arose against the First Republic. The city was besieged and the insurgents had to mint their own currency. To achieve this, the forgers in the prison were amnestied, silver objects were seized and metal was extracted from the mines of Mazarrón, coins being minted in the Arsenal, with stamping machines for ship tools.
