| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles IV inherited the throne in 1788, just months before the French Revolution destabilized every monarchy in Europe. Spanish gold coinage of his reign was minted continuously across multiple assay offices — Madrid, Seville, Mexico City, Lima, Popayán, and others — each producing subtly distinct pieces under the same royal authorization. The assayer's initials punched into each piece remain the primary tool for attributing individual specimens to their mint of origin.
Production continued until 1808, when Napoleon forced Charles to abdicate in favor of Joseph Bonaparte at Bayonne.
