Charles was the second son of Charles III and his wife, Maria Amalia of Saxony. He was born in Naples (11 November 1748), while his father was King of Naples and Sicily. His elder brother, Don Felipe, was passed over for both thrones, due to his learning disabilities and epilepsy. In Naples and Sicily, Charles was referred to as the Prince of Taranto. He was called El Cazador (meaning “the Hunter”), due to his preference for sport and hunting, rather than dealing with affairs of the state. Charles was considered by many to have been amiable. Charles IV of Spain and His Family is an oil on canvas painting by the Spanish artist Francisco Goya In 1788, Charles III died and Charles IV succeeded to the throne. He intended to maintain the policies of his father, and retained his prime minister, the Count of Floridablanca, in office. Even though he had a profound belief in the sanctity of his office, and kept up the appearance of an absolute, powerful monarch, Charles never took more than a passive part in his own government. The affairs of government were left to his wife, Maria Luisa, and his prime minister, while he occupied himself with hunting. In 1792, political and personal enemies ousted Floridablanca from office, replacing him with Pedro Pablo Abarca de Bolea, Count of Aranda. However, in the wake of the war against Republican France, the liberal-leaning Count of Aranda was himself replaced by Manuel de Godoy, a favourite of the Queen and widely believed to be her lover, who enjoyed the lasting favor of the King.Mexican RulersCharles and Johanna, 1516-1556Philip II, 1556-1598Philip III, 1598-1621Philip IV, 1621—1665Charles II, 1665-1700Philip V, 1700-1724, 1724-1746Luis I, 1724Ferdinand VI, 1746-1759Charles III, 1760-1788Charles IV, 1788-1808Ferdinand VII, 1808-1821Mint MarksA, AS – AlamosCE – Real de CatorceC, CH, CL – ChihuahuaC, CN, Gn (error) – CuliacanD, Do – DurangoEoMo – Estado de MexicoGa – GuadalajaraGC – Guadalupe y CalvoGo, G – GuanajuatoHo, H – HermosilloM, Mo, oMo, MXo – Mexico CityOA, O – OaxacaSLP, PI, P, I/P – San Luis PotosiZ, Zs – ZacatecasAssayer’s InitalsA??F1538-40Estaban FrancoG1538-40Juan GutierrezL?Luis RodriguezO??P1541-42Pedro De EspinaR1536-38Francisco del RinconS?Gomez de SantillanA1600-09?F1600-16?Ne1611?D1614-32?P1635-65?G1667-76Geronimo BecerraL1678-1703Martin LopezJ1708-23Jose E. de LeonD1724-27?R1729-30Nicolas de RoxasG1730?F1730-33Felipe Rivas de AnguioF1733-84Francisco de la PenaM1733-63Manuel de la PenaF1733-84Francisco de la PenaM1754-1770Manuel AssorimF1762-70Francisco de RiveraM1770-77Manuel de RiveraF1777-1803Francisco Arance CobosM1784-1801Mariano RodriguezT1801-10Tomas Butron MirandaH1803-1814Henrique Buenaventura AzorinJ1809-33Joaquin Davila MadridJ1812-33Jose Garcia AnsaldoMexico The United States of Mexico, located immediately south of the United States has an area of 759,529 sq. mi. (1.967.183 sq. km.) and an estimated population of 88 million. Capital: Mexico City. The economy is based on agriculture, manufacturing and mining. Oil, cotton, silver, coffee, and shrimp are exported. Mexico was the site of highly advanced Indlan civilizations 1,500 years before conquistador Hernando Cortes conquered the wealthy Aztec empire of Montezuma, 1519-21, and founded a Spanish colony which lasted for nearly 300 years. During the Spanish period, Mexico then called New Spain, stretched from Guatemala to the present states of Wyoming and California, its present northern boundary having been established by the secession of Texas during 1836 and the war of 1846-48 with the United States. Independence from Spain was declared by Father Miguel Hidalgo on Sept. 16, 1810, (Mexican Independence Day) and was achieved by General Agustin de Iturbide in 1821. Iturbide became emperor in 1822 but was deposed when a republic was established a year later. For more than fifty years following the birth of the republic, the political scene of Mexico was characterized by turmoil which saw two emperors (including the unfortunate Maximilian), several dictators and an average of one new government every nine months passing swiftly from obscurity to oblivion. The land, social, economic and labor reforms promulgated by the Reform Constitution of Feb. 5, 1917 established the basis for sustained economic development and participative democracy that have made Mexico one of the most politically stable countries of modern Latin America.Spanish Dollar The Real de a Ocho, also known as the Spanish dollar, the Eight Royals Coin, or the Piece of Eight (Spanish Peso de Ocho), is a silver coin, of approximately 38 mm diameter, worth eight Spanish reales, that was minted in the Spanish Empire after 1598. Its purpose was to correspond to the German thaler. The Spanish dollar was widely used by many countries as the first international/World currency because of its uniformity in standard and milling characteristics. Some countries countersigned the Spanish dollar so it could be used as their local currency. The Spanish dollar was the coin upon which the original United States dollar was based, and it remained legal tender in the United States until the Coinage Act of 1857. Because it was widely used in Europe, the Americas, and the Far East, it became the first world currency by the late 18th century. Aside from the U.S. dollar, several other currencies, such as the Canadian dollar, the Japanese yen, the Chinese yuan, the Philippine peso, and several currencies in the rest of the Americas, were initially based on the Spanish dollar and other 8-real coins. Diverse theories link the origin of the “$” symbol to the columns and stripes that appear on one side of the Spanish dollar. The term peso was used in Spanish to refer to this denomination, and it became the basis for many of the currencies in the former Spanish colonies, including the Argentine, Bolivian, Chilean, Colombian, Costa Rican, Cuban, Dominican, Ecuadorian, Guatemalan, Honduran, Mexican, Nicaraguan, Paraguayan, Philippine, Puerto Rican, Peruvian, Salvadoran, Uruguayan, and Venezuelan pesos. Millions of Spanish dollars were minted over the course of several centuries. They were among the most widely circulating coins of the colonial period in the Americas, and were still in use in North America and in South-East Asia in the 19th century.
