| Reverse description | Central device depicting a crowned shield or royal emblem of Navarre, surrounded by the inscription CHRISTIANA RELIGIO P P along the periphery. The field is plain copper, and the legend is rendered in Latin capitals consistent with the devotional coinage tradition of Navarre. The design reflects the strong religious symbolism characteristic of Spanish royal copper issues of the early 19th century. |

| Additional information |
Fernando VII's authority over Navarre was technically exercised through the old kingdom's separate legal framework — the Fueros — which required distinct coinage rather than simple extension of Castilian issues. This series was struck at the Pamplona mint during a period of profound fiscal strain, as the Spanish crown was simultaneously hemorrhaging revenue from collapsing American colonial remittances and managing the debt load from the Peninsular War.
The three-year window for this type closed when liberal pressure following the 1820 Riego Revolt forced constitutional reforms that disrupted normal mint operations across Spanish territories.
