Additional information

Navarre retained its own coinage system well into the Spanish Habsburg period — a concession rooted in the kingdom's distinct legal identity under the Fueros, which Madrid repeatedly tried and repeatedly failed to dismantle outright. The cornado was a denomination that had survived in Navarre long after it disappeared elsewhere in the peninsula, a relic of the medieval monetary structure that local institutions defended with unusual tenacity.

The twenty-year span of this issue reflects production continuity rather than any single minting decision, with the Pamplona mint operating intermittently across multiple assayers during Felipe IV's reign.
