Comment
Valladolid later re-named to MoreliaInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Mexican War of Independence, specifically in 1813, when the royalist forces were still fighting against the insurgents led by Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla. Despite the turmoil, the coin still bears the image of King Ferdinand VII, indicating the loyalty of the Valladolid mint to the Spanish crown.
