3 Maravedis - Fernando VII laureate head

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.
