| Obverse description | Draped and armored bust of Fernando VII facing right, set within a beaded inner circle. The royal effigy is rendered in a crude provincial style characteristic of emergency wartime coinage. The circumferential legend in Latin reads FERDIN VII DEI GRATIA, with the denomination 8R and date appearing in the field. The overall execution reflects the rudimentary engraving capability of the provisional Zacatecas mint during the Mexican War of Independence. |
