| Aanvullende informatie |
The Guanajuato mint began striking royalist coinage in 1812 under urgent circumstances — insurgent forces led by Hidalgo and later Morelos had disrupted silver supply chains and threatened the crown's ability to maintain a functioning monetary system in New Spain. Guanajuato itself had been the site of the Alhóndiga de Granaditas massacre in 1810, making its subsequent royalist mint output something of a political statement as much as an economic necessity.
Dies cut at Guanajuato during this period were often hastily prepared, and the resulting strikes are notoriously inconsistent. Planchet quality varies sharply across the 1812–1822 run.
