Can anyone help me identify in greater detail the host coin used to create this civil war token??

I can see CAROLUS from the undertype on the obverse of the token, so it's on a Charles III or Charles IV 2-reales. Which is close enough, when it comes to being a colonial era tie-in. I can't see the Mexico City mintmark, though, so do we know for sure the host coin was Mexican and not from one of the other Spanish colonies?
