Navarre retained its own coinage rights long after Ferdinand of Aragon absorbed the kingdom in 1512, a legal concession that persisted through the Habsburg reigns precisely because the Navarrese fueros — their charter of traditional privileges — explicitly protected local monetary autonomy. Felipe II never dismantled this arrangement, and the Pamplona mint continued striking petty copper denominations for regional circulation well into the late sixteenth century. The cornado was the smallest practical unit in that system.
Cal#837 places this type among the later Navarrese coppers documented by Calicó, a series notorious for crude workmanship and inconsistent flan preparation at Pamplona.
