附加信息	These pieces were struck during the most chaotic stretch of Mexican monetary history — the decade-long insurgency against Spanish colonial rule that began with Hidalgo's revolt in 1810. The Mexico City mint continued operating under royalist control throughout, producing gold coinage in Fernando VII's name even as the surrounding countryside changed hands repeatedly and silver production collapsed due to disrupted mining operations. Fernando himself never set foot in New Spain. He spent the years 1808–1814 as Napoleon's prisoner at Valençay, which makes the loyalist coinage struck in his name during that captivity a peculiar artifact of colonial allegiance to an absent, imprisoned king.
