| Obverse description | Central device consisting of the crowned arms of Navarre: a shield bearing the traditional chain motif of the Kingdom of Navarre, composed of an orle of chains with a central boss, rendered in low relief. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown with cross finial. The square flan features a milled or beaded border along all four edges, characteristic of Navarrese copper coinage of the period. The field surrounding the shield is plain and unlettered. The overall design is austere and emblematic, consistent with the provincial coinage issued under Fernando VII. |

| Additional information |
Navarre retained its own coinage rights long after the Bourbon succession reshaped the rest of Spain, a privilege rooted in the kingdom's separate legal status under the fuero system. By 1832, Fernando VII's reign was in its final stretch, consumed by the Carlist succession crisis that would erupt into open war the following year. These late Navarrese copper pieces were struck in tiny quantities relative to Castilian issues, as the local economy had little demand for fractional coinage at this scale.
Cal#1664 is among the scarcer entries in Calicó's reckoning of Fernando VII coppers.
