Commentary
Le buste d’avers est le premier buste dit “indigène” gravé par l’atelier de Lima avant l’arrivée des coin d’avers officiels à partir de 1811. D’autres ateliers d’Amérique ont aussi réalisés leurs propres bustes ou réutilisés le buste de Charles IV.
The obverse bust is the first so-called “native” bust engraved by the Lima workshop before the arrival of official obverse dies from 1811. Other workshops in America also made their own busts or reused the bust of Charles IV.

His father abdicated in his favor after the Aranjuez uprising (03/19/1808). French troops commanded by Murat invade Madrid on May 1, 1808. On May 2, "Dos de Mayo" immortalized by Goya, the people rise up. The repression is terrible. On the 5th, by the Treaty of Bayonne, Charles IV abdicated and Ferdinand VII renounced the throne. On June 6, Napoleon chose his brother Joseph to reign over Spain.. It was the start of the Spanish Civil War which was Napoleon I's first defeat.. On December 11, 1813, the Treaty of Valençay returned the crown to Ferdinand VII, who had been a prisoner since 1808.. Returned to Spain in 1814, he governed as an absolute monarch. He lost the American colonies. He had to establish a liberal constitution in 1820. He was able to restore absolute power thanks to the French intervention in 1823 of the Duke of Angoulême.
