| Additional information |
The Pamplona mint was one of the few Spanish provincial mints still operating with any regularity by 1818, its output reflecting Navarre's semi-autonomous fiscal arrangements within the Spanish crown. Ferdinand VII's return from French captivity in 1814 had triggered a conservative restoration that dismantled the Cádiz constitution, and the coinage program that followed — including this small copper issue — was as much a political re-establishment of royal imagery as it was a monetary exercise. The "young head" portrait type was already being phased out at other mints by this date, making Pamplona's continued use of it a localized anachronism.
