| Reverse description | Central device consists of the crowned arms of Navarre — a shield bearing the chain of Navarre — superimposed upon a cross potent with orbed terminals, evoking the Order of the Holy Sepulchre. The mint mark 'P · P ·' (Pamplona) appears at the lower centre of the cross. The surrounding circular legend reads CHRISTIANA · RELIGIO · P · P ·, referencing the traditional motto of the Kingdom of Navarre. A milled border frames the entire design. |

| Additional information |
Fernando VII's constitutional crisis of the early 1820s ended with French military intervention in 1823 — the so-called "Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis" — restoring absolute rule and triggering a wave of provincial recoinage that reasserted royal authority across the peninsula. Navarre, retaining its distinct fuero rights, continued striking under its own monetary ordinances rather than consolidating with Castilian output. The 1825–1826 dates bracket a brief window of activity at the Pamplona mint before Fernando's increasingly erratic fiscal policy disrupted copper production schedules across northern Spain.
