| 背面描述 | Central crowned Gothic 'I' monogram for Iohanna (Joanna), surmounted by an ornate crown and flanked by a castle to the left and a lion to the right, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The numeral '4' appears below the crowned monogram, denoting the denomination, with quatrefoils positioned before and after it. A circular Latin legend runs along the outer border of the irregularly shaped flan. The design mirrors the paired obverse typology, jointly attributing the coinage to the co-regents Charles I and Joanna of Castile. |

These represent the first copper coins struck in the Americas. The Mexico City mint — established by a royal cedula from Carlos I in 1535 — began copper maravedí production almost immediately, though the issues proved deeply unpopular. Indigenous populations had no tradition of copper coinage, and Spanish settlers considered the denomination too small to bother with. Most were hoarded, lost, or discarded rather than circulated, which is precisely why surviving examples are so elusive today.
The mint abandoned copper coinage entirely within a few years, making this one of the shortest-lived series in New World minting history.
