| Additional information |
Felipe V spent the first decade of his reign fighting to keep the throne he'd inherited from Carlos II, and the War of the Spanish Succession left the royal mints in varying states of disruption. By 1718, Seville was producing cob-style macuquina coinage on an aging infrastructure that would soon be replaced by milled production — this issue sits near the end of that transitional moment, before the Bourbon reforms standardized the physical appearance of Spanish silver across colonial and metropolitan mints alike.
The Seville mint's assayer initial for this period is the critical detail separating major catalog varieties within the Cal#1143 grouping.
