​

José María Teclo Morelos y Pavón (September 30, 1765, City of Valladolid, now Morelia, Michoacán - December 22, 1815, San Cristóbal Ecatepec, State of México) was a Mexican Roman Catholic priest and revolutionary rebel leader who led the Mexican War of Independence movement, assuming its leadership after the execution of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla in 1811. He was captured by the Spanish royalist military, tried by the Inquisition, defrocked as a cleric, and executed by civil authorities for treason in 1815.​

I thought I was close too, but was way off, I even used my own gold nuggets next to a mercury dime to estimate the scale of the gold in the picture to calculate by, didn't work... maybe if I had more nuggets.
