49	1	A Mystery Royal Charles III ruled Spain and its New World Colonies from 1759 until his death on 14 December 1788. He was immediately succeeded by his second oldest son, Charles IIII. Thereupon, coins of Mexico underwent an interesting transition from 1789 to 1791. During those three transition years, mint authorities in Mexico City were likely aware of the succession of rulers, but nevertheless had to wait to ascertain what the new king might look like. Thus, the Mexico City mint continued Charles III’s bourbon-nosed image on coins, but used the new name of Charles IV (or IIII) denoted on the obverse legend. Finally, beginning in 1792, the bust of Charles IIII was adopted for his own Mexico coinage. Effecting that design change had taken several years. It had required relevant portrait modifications and final royal approval. Indeed, the adopted images likely came over from Spain on a slow boat to Mexico!
