This specimen was lot 587 in a recent Soler y Llach sale (Barcelona, January 2010). This type was struck in Madrid 1814-33, in Seville 1815-33 and in Cadiz 1810-12. It is much scarcer than the SCWC catalog values would indicate. Lower in fineness than contemporary Latin American issues, they were discounted in international trade.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 6.77 g, 0.812 fine silver, .176 troy oz ASW.

Catalog reference: Cayón-15398, KM 460.1.
