| Additional information |
Navarre retained its own mint and monetary system well into the nineteenth century, a privilege rooted in the Fueros — the ancient statutory rights that successive Spanish crowns had repeatedly sworn to uphold. Fernando VII, despite his absolutist instincts, confirmed those rights upon his restoration in 1814, which is precisely why this piece exists at all: a Spanish king issuing copper in a denomination and standard belonging to a semi-autonomous kingdom within his own realm.
The Pamplona mint closed definitively in 1837, during the First Carlist War, when the Fueros became a rallying point for the Carlist faction.
