    La captura de la flota de la plata.
    (Revista Numismática Hécate., 2025) Menchaca García, Roberto; Sin departamento asociado
    El presente trabajo se dedica a estudiar un conjunto de medallas labradas en las Provincias Unidas de los Países Bajos (actualmente englobadas en el Reino de los Países Bajos) en el siglo XVII. Las piezas fueron producidas en el marco de la llamada “Guerra de los ochenta años” que las enfrentó al imperio español y recrean un episodio relevante de este conflicto: la captura de la “flota de la plata” por parte del almirante holandés Piet Hein.

    El comercio exterior de Puerto Rico entre dos imperios, 1879-1923
    (Instituto de Investigaciones Dr. José María Luis Mora de Mexico, 2020-12-11) Martínez Soto, Ángel Pascual; García Gómez, José Joaquín; Pérez de Perceval Verde, Miguel Ángel; Economía Aplicada; Facultad de Economía y Empresa
    This article reconstructs, using the direct and indirect sources available, the flows of Puerto Rico’s foreign trade in the last decades of 19th century, under the control exercised by Spain as a colonial metropolis, and the first decades of the 20th century, under colonial control of the United States. These magnitudes have been analysed to understand its evolution and to know its geographical structure, both in general and for each of the colonial periods (1875-1897 and 1898-1923). Finally, the structure of foreign trade is analysed to shed light on the different product flows. The conclusions suggest that, while there had been a geographical restructuring of foreign trade since 1882, the US annexation allowed integration into a higher-growth market, and increasing the volume of foreign trade, the investment floows and the national income of the island.
