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 Spanish royalists controlled the city of Valladolid (now known as Morelia) in the state of Michoacán. The coin features an image of King Ferdinand VII on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other. Despite being minted during a time of conflict, the coin was still made of silver (.903), indicating the value and importance of the metal during that time period.
