| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and draped bust of King Fernando VII facing right, rendered in high relief against a smooth field. The laureate wreath is tied at the back with a ribbon, the ends of which fall behind the neck. A circular legend in Latin surrounds the effigy, with the mint date appearing in the lower portion of the coin below the truncation. The portrait reflects the neoclassical style characteristic of early nineteenth-century Spanish colonial coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Fernando VII never set foot in Mexico, yet his portrait appeared on its coinage throughout a reign defined by his imprisonment under Napoleon and his subsequent restoration to a throne he managed with spectacular incompetence. The Mexico City mint continued striking his image even as the independence movement tore the colony apart — royalist coinage produced in a city that would belong to a republic within two years of the final date in this series.
The Chihuahua and Durango emergency mints struck their own fractional gold during this same window, making the Mexico City pieces the refined counterparts to some genuinely crude provincial issues.
