| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and draped bust of Ferdinand VII facing right, depicted in armored military attire with a laurel wreath adorning the head. The portrait is rendered in a relatively small, simplified style characteristic of the Zacatecas emergency royalist coinage. The date 1819 appears in the lower portion of the field beneath the bust. The peripheral legend reads FERDIN•VII•DEI•GRATIA, separated by pellet stops, running clockwise around the effigy within a milled border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Zacatecas mint opened in 1810 under royalist control specifically to fund Spain's military campaign against the insurgency — silver from the region's mines was being melted and coined almost directly from extraction to pay troops. By 1819, the insurgency had been largely suppressed following Morelos's execution in 1815, but the royalist mints remained on a war footing, prioritizing output over refinement. Zacatecas coinage from this period is notoriously crude by metropolitan standards, a product of improvised equipment and urgent production schedules.
Fernando VII never set foot in New Spain and was in French captivity when this mint first struck in his name.
