| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bears the quartered royal arms of Castile and León — castles and lions in the four quarters — surmounted by the Spanish royal crown. Flanking the shield are the twin Pillars of Hercules, each topped with a crown and bound by a scroll banner, representing the Strait of Gibraltar. The peripheral legend in Latin reads FERDIN•VII•DEI•GRATIA•R, invoking Fernando VII's claim to the throne by divine right, with the date 1811 incorporated into the legend. The entire design reflects the standard Colonial Spanish arms type, here struck under royalist authority in Mexico during the War of Independence. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Zacatecas began striking coins in 1810 under royalist authority specifically because the insurgency had severed supply lines from Mexico City, leaving the northern silver-mining provinces without adequate circulating coinage. The mint operated under emergency conditions, and the early issues from 1811 are notably crude — not from carelessness, but because the facility was improvised under military pressure, using whatever equipment could be assembled locally.
The royalist provisional issues from Zacatecas are distinct from later, more regular production. Dies were cut by hand under constrained circumstances, and no two coins from this period strike identically.
