Struck to mark the proclamation of Fernando VII following the forced abdications at Bayonne, where Napoleon compelled both Carlos IV and the prince of Asturias to renounce the Spanish throne in favor of Joseph Bonaparte. The proclamation issues from across the American colonies were produced in the months of uncertainty that followed — loyalty declarations in metal, minted before it became clear that Fernando would spend the next six years a prisoner in France rather than a king on his throne.
El Salvador had no mint of its own; these pieces were struck at Guatemala City under the authority of the Captaincy General of Guatemala.
