Aanvullende informatie	The Manila Mint was established by royal decree in 1829 specifically to address the chronic shortage of small change in the Philippine archipelago, where copper coinage was desperately needed for everyday transactions that silver pesos couldn't serve. This 1835 issue falls within the mint's earliest productive years, when output was inconsistent and quality control was irregular enough that strike depth varies considerably across surviving specimens of the same die pair. Isabella II was just four years old in 1835 — her mother María Cristina ruled as regent following Ferdinand VII's death in 1833. Coins struck in her name during this regency period predate her formal declaration as queen regnant by a decade.
