| Aanvullende informatie |
The Zacatecas mint opened under royalist authority in 1810 specifically because the insurgency had disrupted silver shipments from the interior to established mints — most critically Mexico City. This issue belongs to the emergency coinage struck to maintain Crown monetary operations as Miguel Hidalgo's forces destabilized supply routes across New Spain. Zacatecas itself was a loyalist stronghold sitting atop one of the richest silver-producing regions in the hemisphere, which made it both strategically essential and logistically capable of standing up a functioning mint on short notice.
Early strikes from 1810 show considerable die crudeness, a known characteristic of the series given the speed of the mint's establishment.
